Review for the Idol Pursuits Trilogy

I reserve 5 stars for the greats (Homer, Poe, Austen, Hosseini, Sedaris etc.), so 4 stars is the highest honor in my rating system. Considering that I am a retired secondary English teacher with old-fashioned sensibilities, I am beyond shocked that I was drawn into the lives of these teenagers. I read all three books in 5 days thus sacrificing sleep for "one more chapter"! Rioux takes us into the nefarious world of K-pop through the eyes of former idols who vow to pursue the genre by their own rules. The depth of his research is clear as he brings culture, music, art, dance, and film to life. I would gamble that he is something of a renaissance man, for his breadth of knowledge on multiple subjects is impressive. The main characters are three-dimensional, and I found myself feeling injustices and rooting for their successes. I even found sympathy with one of the antagonists! The entire trilogy is well written and peppered with humor. But most of all, it's fun! I recommend these books for anyone over 15, as there are a few "adult" innuendos. I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story!
