Killing Britney was really good. It's about a girl named Britney, whose mother died about two years before the book even starts. Just when her life is going good, and she has a lot of friends, and a good boyfriend everyone she cares about is starting to die and she doesn't know what to do. She thinks it is all her fault everyone is dying. She also thinks someone is out to get her too. At first everyone thinks Ricky's death was an accident, but then when everyone else starts dying, and Britney st

The murder mystery, Killing Britney, written by Sean Olin, is one of my all-time favorite books. Olin has a great style that quickly takes the reader deep into the story, begging the writer for the next paragraph. The story is centered around a hugely popular, gorgeous, blond high school student who goes from geek to freak. I instantly hated her! Britney had everything she could ever want and took it all for granted. Loser. The reader starts to feel sorry for Brittany (for about 5 minutes) w

Her life has been tragic since her mother had died during a family rafting trip. You would think that nothing else bad could happen, but after a party at their friend’s house, Ricky, her boyfriend died in a hit and run. A few days after, she feels that she’s being watched and she found a CD in her car of her and her boyfriend’s favorite song, with someone in the background

Even though Abbie already told me like the whole book and what happens and stuff...I wanted to read it so I did!! This book was very graphic with the murders and deaths... it was scary and I would NOT recommend it to people who are scared to watch horror movies because once again. The description is very graphic and easy 2 picture in your mind. It was a good book and other than that... I would recommend this book to any1 who can handle scary movies

Oh, this book. Where to begin? I must say that I really, really enjoy it even though it is something I would never really read or get into. My tastes in book do not reach out to "murder mystery/thriller." I find those types of books to be... well... to put it bluntly... boring. There's no appeal to them for me. They all just suck. (That's right. I'm using proper language now.) So if I don't find them appealing then why did I read this one? Well, let me start off by telling you a very s

Well, this novel wasn't exactly what I expected-to say the least.
It wasn't that it was horrible, but it wasn't great either.
Not graphic, just detailed.
The plot was okay, albeit, predictable.
The novel starts with Britney (the protagonist, as if that weren't obvious) at a hockey game sitting with the hockey wives (the hockey players' girlfriends) at a game, and an after party.

Just okay. The plot is equal parts predictable and completely nutty. The writing is too simplistic to be enjoyable. People die in ways that should feel gruesome but are instead easy to gloss over because there are no details or descriptions. Hello, I'm a new character, I'm on my way home and, oopsy, I am torn in twelve pieces by a man with a pickaxe. That doesn't actually happen, but that's exactly how easily the characters and their murders are introduced and dismissed. It's a book that could h

I'm going to have to back and review the clues again, but I have to say I'm still not even sure what happened here. All the characters are crazy. The plot jumped around in such bizarre twists that the writer was forced to have a character explain everything right at the end. And is this person to be believed?
The characters were not developed enough for me to care that any of them were murdered. May of the plot twists just did not make sense, including the notes Melissa found in her br More...

Killing Britney by Sean Olin is a mystery horror novel that deals with life as a teenager, but with other complications, such as the repetitive killings. All of Britney's friends and family seem to be dissapearing, and their bodies found at a bloody crime scene a couple of days later.

Britney Johnson was a popular girl and everyone loves her enough to kill her. What ended up happen was all her loved ones got murdered; her boyfriend Ricky, bestfriend's brother Karl, bestfriend Melissa and her father! I thouht this book was boring but it wasn't, the author created mysterious characters that made me keep reading this book in order to find out the real murderer among all the people around Britney. Also it was unpredictable; who i guessed wasnt the real murderer. To me the ending

quick read for me and not as enjoyable as i had hoped. the deaths were quite gory but the book just kind of jumped all over the place. no characters were really developed, so you didn't really care when they died. i found the ending pretty predictable, but that's probably all my years reading christopher pike and looking for the most random person to be the killer.
still, this book got 3 stars out of me, so obviously i liked it somewhat. i just wish the last few chapters hadn't of be More...

Britney Johnson is the ugly duckling who turned into a beautiful swan. She's slim, blonde, and beautiful and begins dating the captain of the school's ice hockey team. Someone is out for revenge and is targeting her friends one by one. Soon Brittany receives a CD that tells her that she will be dead next. The text increases in suspense rapidly and the plot is constantly twisting.

The book, Killing Britney is a story about a girl who transforms herself from a "nerd" to the most popular girl in school. Her mother has been dead a few years before the book even starts. Once everyone around her starts to be brutally murdered, she thinks that someone is after her. This is a VERY addicting book and it leaves you guessing throughout the book on who is doing it. The ending is very good but different then I thought it was going to be.

I don't know yet how I'm going to like this book, but I don't understand how Britney became so popular after being an ordinary girl... perhaps is the manner in which the author began to tell the story or maybe it's because I haven't moved from page 50 (I'm too slow):)

Britney was the classic nerd every high school had. She had transformed herself into a popular "hockey wife". She had a popular hocky-playing boyfriend, and is friends with girls who call themselves the hock wives. Everything has been going great for her since her mother died, but the terror begins again. Soon her boyfriend dies, and all her friends are being killed too. The killer is not who you expect!

This is a suspenseful murder mystery with unexpected twist and turns that keep you guessing right up to the end. It’s kind of neat for me because the book takes place in Madison so I knew a lot of the places the characters went. The book is a quick light read with no real moral or message but the characters are well developed while still keeping an air of mystery. The book has no foul language or sex but there is a lot of violence (five murders).

I found this book very mysterious. You can never have guessed the ending. It seriously shocked me when I found out the ending. I liked it a lot and I found out very interesting. The book was suppose to be scary and at most part it was but still it wasn’t that scary and you can imagine the things that are happening . Good imagery!!

I absolutely adored this book. The suspense was unbearable, something was always happening. There was never a dull moment about it. I loved that right when things seemed perfect for Britney everything came tumbling down. The mystery of the book made me never want to let it go. The deaths and curiosity just made the book irresistible.

When a student left me a note saying this book was ridiculous and I had to read it, I was intrigued. Mystery, suspense, horror. And more twists than most adult suspense novels. Bloody murders, double crosses, hidden agendas: it's all there. I gasped out loud in class today, and at one moment actually threw the book down. Scary good!
