When A Traditional Candidate Meets The iCandidate, the Nation Will Never Be the Same!

Former Green Beret turned history teacher Michael Bennit likes to inspire his students. After losing a bet to one of his classes, he finds himself running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Partnering with his students to campaign exclusively on social media, the race turns into a national sensation and a sleazy incumbent fanatical about hanging onto his power becomes desperate to destroy it- at any cost.

"The iCandidate is one of the best books that I have read in a long time and the characters and twists will keep you reading long into the night." -- Reviewed by Samantha Rivera for Readers' Favorite

"The idea of an outsider running for Congress and winning is appealing to readers sick of politics as usual." -- Amazon Vine Reviewer, based on excerpt

"This is extremely original. I have never read anything like it. I enjoyed the multiple perspectives that I was given. Each one gave a little bit more to the story and made me start to see the plot coming together." -- Amazon Vine Reviewer, based on excerpt

If you like House of Cards, you’ll enjoy reading how The Michael Bennit Series turns the American political process upside down when the little guy is pitted against the Washington elite set on destroying him to preserve their power in these political dramas.

5,0 su 5 stelle WHAT A DELIGHTFUL BOOK!!!

WHAT A GREAT BOOK!!!

Too many "new" books are rehashing old plots, stereotyped characters, and "deus ex machina" endings when an author is unable to satisfactorily resolve the difficulties he or she has created.

This book immediately grabs your attention - and puzzled me initially - since each chapter is in the voice of and in the character of one of the participants in the story. After you get to know each character, it provides an enchanting multi-faceted telling of the story. And the story itself, which starts out as an intimate little tale suddenly blossoms into something entirely different - and completely believable.

I hesitate to say more because I want you to have the experience of going on this delightful journey with these captivating people, Even the villains are well-drawn, and each interaction is seen by at one participant in different perspectives (there's that thing about multi-narrators).

I cannot count the number of "free" first novels I have read without ever purchasing volumes 2 or 3 or whatever. As soon as I reached the last page - with a certain sense of disappointment that it WAS the last page - I immediately went online and ordered volume 2. If it proves anywhere as engrossing as volume, I suspect I may end up with all 4 editions.

I cannot say how MUCH I enjoyed this book and how thoroughly I recommend it!

Here the author teaches us has the iCandidate taught his students . The depth of insight into the 30 individual stories being told is masterly . I could do an in-depth analysis but it is not necessary . This is a truly great book , it should be required reading in all literature courses .

A candidate running for congress using all social media available and a few students : what an original and up-to-date idea!
Two aspects are interesting : indeed it highlights the power of social media but also how you can teach otherways. Being a teacher myself it's a never-ending question.
This book is a must-read, it will make people question teaching practices and the role of politics in everyday life. However, too many editing errors make me rank this book as a 4 star only.

5,0 su 5 stelle Splendid First Novel
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 novembre 2013

As Mikael Carlson's freshman effort "The iCandidate" gets it right on every level. It's fun and witty, fast paced and oh so relevant to these times where everybody, thanks to social media, gets to star in their own reality show with their own 15 seconds of fame.
Writing a novel using first person perspective from the viewpoints of multiple characters is tricky but Carlson manages to nail it down. Any dissonance caused by his own strong writers narrative seemingly bleeding into the characters voices is washed away by mid book when the story hits it's stride and I found myself sold on and invested in the characters that were talking to me.
In truth there is a lot I could say about this novel as there were many things I enjoyed about it but instead I'll leave you to discover the characters and ride the roller coaster for yourselves. However, I would be remiss if I did not comment on the subtle didactic message that Mr.Carlson wove into the very fiber of this novel. While the story stands on it own as interesting and powerful it also acts as a parable on just what it means to be a modern American. While done skillfully and with such a deft hand it avoids being preachy or contrite and fits almost seamlessly within the framework of the story being told for me I also felt that a message, a grand idea was being shared through this work and I look forward to it's further progression as the series continues. Mikael Carlson might not have intended it but through his voice he is very much like Michael Bennit addressing his classroom in his message to America that we deserve better but won't be getting it unless we stand up and not only demand change to our country but actually BE the change in our country.
Buy it, enjoy it, think about it!
Thanks,
Greg

Lets make it easy this was a face paced enjoyable read. Don't let the simple title fool you , the book takes a necessary look at the current "cross breeding" of politics , media and news. It forces the reader the wonder what does it really takes to be elected to congress and who we are putting now. We are taken on a ride with a teacher who turns the world of political campaigning on its ear while showing a bunch of very intelligent teenagers that the truth government is not a simple as high school history paints it.

Told in multiple view points, the story of an all "social media" based congressional campaign unfolds, we meet the candidate, the incumbent , the friends , the lovers and the teenagers who will be the backbone of the political campaign.
Seeing the story from a multiple view points is never unnecessarily complex or difficult and allows for great character insight. We know the who , why and the how of almost every move and still want to see what happens.

Without giving away to much of the story we see that each persons motivation is not always what is seems or at least not as simple.
Anyone who has watches the news or even tries to ignore the news will feel they know some of the people in the story. The themes are universal but also very relevant to our current time. The setting is the North East and the hero's background is in the military, history and education, not surprisingly so are the authors, which lends a great deal of realism to the story.

As the parent of two teenagers , I can say that I see aspects of the teenage characters in my children ( they are not a driven as these kids but close )

The story asks for a some indulgence from the reader , the protagonist is something of "hero among men" and the incumbent is a stereotypical "blow hard" unethical politician ,things do tend to wrap up neatly and quickly at times. Yet this is all minor in a story with well fleshed out characters , fun twists and a real take on " is the media the message". The text is peppered with humor and historical references many of which might send you (enjoyably) searching the web for truth behind the quotes.

You will enjoy and remember reading this.
