A review by summer_winter
Panic by Lauren Oliver

4.0

So I was torn between 3 or 4 stars so I I shall give this book a rating of a very high 3 almost making it into the 4 star territory, thinking back on past books I've rated it would be a four but because of the doubt I leave it as a high 3.

So I started reading this book as I needed to read one of my favorite authors, one of them being Lauren Oliver because Yet again I had picked up a book that I felt would drag me back down into a slump that I'd just gotten out of.

So overall I really liked this book, it had a really good story and I could really sympathize this the characters.
I really liked that It was split into the perspectives of Heather and Dodge as it gave the story more depth. I think that Lauren Oliver did a really good job of making their lives and the town they lived in a hopeless place as even though it was only written from two perspectives you get the impression that most of the residents of Carp feel the same.

Most of the challenges in the game were terrifying, I don't think I would have the guts to do them and some of them were so tense I was starting to feel anxious reading them. I felt that Heather's individual challenge and the final challenge were so intense and it was great to feel so involved in a book again.
