I’m not going to lie for the first half of the book, I was bored. But once it got half way it got super good. My god, my heart was racing a lot and I couldn’t stop reading.

61 procent - tak na 66
68 - sakra, no tak 70
73 - ne, vubec neni pul druhy, a do 75 to dam...
75 - ale ted je to zajimavy...
80 - ted taky!
85 - tak uz to doctu, no...

If it's possible to get an adreneline rush by reading a book, I did. I couldn't turn the pages in Lauren Oliver's Panic fast enough.
Panic is a summer-long game played by graduating seniors that includes several challenges -- some death-defying -- they must complete for a chance to win the $67,000 prize.
Main characters Heather and Dodge have totally different reasons for playing. Heather wants the money so she can leave town, and her train wreck of a mother behind, and never look back. Dodge wants revenge for what happened to his sister during Panic two years ago.
When a person dies during one of the challenges they think the game is over, especially now that the police are paying even closer attention. But Panic goes on and includes nail-biting moments when Heather and her friend Natalie are doing their individual challenges.
The story delves into the characters' relationships with each other, their families and other people in the small Upstate New York town where they live.
All in all, Panic is an exciting, gripping story. Lauren Oliver does it again.

I really enjoyed this book, I finished it in just two days. Such an interesting look at people's different fears and everyone's different motivations and reasons for doing the things they do. I could completely picture and relate to the small town where this took place. Great characters and really exciting storyline.
I'm give it a 4 because of the ending. It was a great read.
A fun book about crazy teenagers. Some compared it to The Hunger Games but I really don't understand that comparison. This is just about teenagers acting stupid and not at all a dystopian society.

This just did not work for me at all. Overall, the writing was fine but the story was just a big ole mess.
There are just too many things trying to happen in this book. Essentially 4 main characters, a shitty as hell town, boredom to the point let's risk our lives and try to fucking kill each other (for $67,000), abusive mothers, revenge, a crippled sister, a zoo of saved animals, and really it's was just too much. With all this there was little character building, a lot of whining, and just flat out gaps in the story. I felt like if this story could have focused on a couple of things, built upon those elements alone, I would have been more satisfied.
Oh well...next?

Addicting after the first few chapters. Dang. I know it's not true but seriously... What an intense (and stupid... You have to be stupid to participate) story line.
