lunacarmin 's review for:
Panic
by Lauren Oliver
Let's start saying this book surprised me. Even that I knew this was a contemporary I was expecting something more upbeat. This book was much more realistic... The life of the characters don't go around the school life, romance or anything remotely idealistic. This deals with family problems, the start of adulthood, revenge, back-stabbing, etc.
The characters at the start of the novel are very different from theirselves at the end. This game panic, although might sound childish is cruel and serious as a little mafia on their town. But I also think they put things on perspective for Heather, Nat and Dodger. Life does not end after you lose, but it does not solve magically if you win.
Now, for the things I disliked... I think there were a lot of characters (with very little consequence of the story) I think the author wanted to give the impression this was the generation story and not only of the main characters. And there were a lot of parts where I was like... Ok ... Please make things happen xD. I didn't got excited until the betrayals started.
It was ok.
