Panic
by Lauren Oliver
I did enjoy reading this. As I did with every book Lauren Oliver has written so far (and that I've read, obviously).
The beginning is this plunging into the middle of the story; no prologue, no talking, just pure action and the game. Panic.
I thought that this game was a pretty cool idea. Except for being extremely dangerous and reckless for the participants. But. It was real. It is what teenagers that have graduated recently would do. For money. For their dreams.
The story is told from two perspectives: Heather's and Dodge's. I didn't really care for Dodge too much, much less for Nat. But I really enjoyed reading from Heather's point of view. She and actually everyone of the characters were so realistic; they were not perfect, they had problems and they all wanted to win the big pot of gold for their own reasons.
I thought that the ending wasn't as action-packed as it could have been, although that would have been a bit too much and pretty unbelievable. So I really enjoyed how the ending was portrayed and I really, really thought that the ending scene had something epic and majestic in it.
So I definitely do recommend this novel and hope that everyone who reads it will enjoy it as much as I did! :)
