Updated: My first read through of PANIC was in 2015. After this read through, I'm keeping my original rating of 4 stars. I still like the book and after having watched the series, I also really liked the changes that were made to bring it to the screen. Some of those changes I prefer. Overall, I still think it's a solid story and I still really like Heather, while I'm less drawn to Dodge.
Old review below:
I'm a Lauren Oliver fan. I own her Delirium series in hardback and was thrilled to find a new read from her while I browsed the Nook shop. I read "Panic" during a very long car ride and am happy to report that Oliver's plot and characters made the miles past incredible fast.
Combine a dead-end town, a high-stakes game and a group of graduating seniors with secrets, dreams and revenge agendas and you have a recipe for an attention-gripping novel. "Panic" follows a group of teens during the summer immediately following their high school graduation. Panic is the game and if you play, you better be willing to go all the way. Of course everyone has their own reason for playing Panic. Many play for the big money pay out that goes to the last surviving players, but some play for more sinister reasons.
Lauren Oliver delivers characters you'll both love and love to hate as well as plenty of action. Did I mention the tigers? Get a copy of "Panic" and enjoy its twists and turns. Root for your favorite Panic players and see if you can predict who will come out on top.
Note: I read on Lauren Oliver's website that "Panic" has been optioned by Universal Pictures. How cool is that?
