A review by harleyrae
Panic by Lauren Oliver

4.0

I'm surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did. I actually really enjoyed this. I felt there was something's that could have been done better but all around I did enjoy it.

Panic is a game where only graduated seniors can play. And the winner of the game walks with 50000-60000, and in a small town like carp everyone wants to win. But panic is like most games, in this game you must face your worst fears without chickening out. The games can be dangerous and one slip can mean death. But for Heather and Dodge they are willing to risk it.

One thing I didn't like was the duel perspectives, I really wish the whole book followed one person. I think we would have been able to better connect with the characters.
I also wish we spent more time on the challenges. Considering the book is mainly about this game called panic I felt we spent very little time actually on the game itself.


All in all I did enjoy this book and would recommend it to anyone wanting an exciting contemporary read.
