Book two in the Veritas Project series. Click here for book one.
Plot: This time the Springfields are investigating the mystery of a runaway teenager who was found - but was completely out of his mind. The only thing he says is "Nightmare Academy..." Over and over again. What is this Nightmare Academy, and how could it have changed this young man from a civil, smart student (if slightly rebellious) to a babbling, senseless child?
Comments: The second book in the Veritas Project series doesn't quite live up to the first one (see Hangman's Curse), but I liked this book anyway. It's a completely different kind of mystery, which I was glad to see. The setting is extremely different from the first book, and so is the plot. This story was slightly more far-fetched and dangerous than Hangman's Curse. More is at stake, and there seems to be less chance for redemption.
I was kind of annoyed by the characters in this story. The teenagers were stupid, superficial, and resembled wild animals. No rules, no morals, and no conscious thought. I guess it was kind of the point, but as the plot went on, I got pretty exasperated. Everything changed in the end, but it was a little difficult to read through the idiotic whims of the teenagers.
Rating: I rate this book a six out of ten. It was an okay story.
