adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

This book was a mess.

The Panic game vascillated between cringey and fucked up and it felt like Lauren Oliver couldn't decide whether she should go with The Hunger Games or Truth or Dare. The end result is a super lame game with low stakes and mechanics that I didn't care about.

I was invested more in the character back stories than the game itself, and I would've enjoyed this more if Lauren Oliver had leaned into it as a hard-hitting contemporary about impoverished kids stuck in hopeless situations.

Instead she gave us....tigers?

The fuck?

i can't believe all of those fuck ass kids survived this book. the adaptation is calling my name!

I loved the suspense and action in the book. The Challenges are really intense and unique and i really loved the end.

DID NOT FINISH: 16%

I enjoyed the series so i thought id read the book but i did not like the writing style or the inner worlds of the characters

Лорън Оливър е една от любимите ми тийн писателки още откакто прочетох трилогията „Делириум“. За съжаление обаче „Паника“ не успя да оправдае очакванията ми. Сюжетът на романа е интересен, действието се развива бързо, има ги и неочакваните обрати, но образите на героите не бяха достатъчно добре изградени. За тези 300 страници не успях да се привържа към нито един от героите, макар всеки от тях да имаше своята лична трогателна история. „Паника“ е леко и приятно четиво, но нищо повече.

Me pareció entretenido e interesante, aunque los personajes me parecieron algo planos. 

La idea de "Panic" me parece aterradora y muy buena, sin duda veré la adaptación. Lástima que la hayan cancelado :/.
