Panic (Panic, #1) in FINDING AUDREY READ-ALONG

Feb 28, 2014 Liz rated it liked it

I always set the bar low, and OF COURSE this book passed all of my expectations and then some. It was relatively fast paced and had some good challenges. I liked that I didn't feel the need to like every character all the time. I felt like Oliver writes very human people who do screw up, and this novel shows them at their worst of times (at this point of their lives). Even though the two main characters come from similar "side of the tracks" their stories were different and it shows how complex ...more

I felt so much anxiety when reading this book. It's insane what these people would do for money. I loved the writing and the characters in this book, and I enjoyed the crazy story line for this contemporary book. My only problem was that I thought some things were left out in the end. ...more

I was not a total fan of Panic.

I thought the idea was really creative, and I could really feel all of the stress and anxiety that came with the game which I really enjoyed.

Overall, I thought this was okay. There were some parts that I enjoyed (the plot and language) but I could not deal with the characte ...more

The more I blog about books, the more I realize that there are a ton of "young adult classics" (yes, I just invented that term) that I should have read, but haven't. So it means that besides feeling pressured to read all the "original classics", my booklist keeps growing with YA books too. One of the authors that is on the must-read-YA-books-list is Lauren Oliver, author of the Delirium series and of Panic - which I finally picked up.

April YA reading challenge book (I read it a little early)

Popsugar Reading Challenge: One word title

*le sigh* What to say? There were twists in the plot, however, the author not only telegraphed them-she stood on a chair and shouted them at the top of her lungs. There were no twists that I didn't 100% see coming. There seemed to be contradicting themes in the book. For example, she talked a lot about how it's okay to be afraid, but it what you do when you're afraid that counts. At the end of th

I like that it's very straigtforward and fast-paced. That it began at the start of the game and ended when the game ends.
But there's something missing about this book. Idk if it's just me but I don't care about the characters. I wasn't afraid for them or anything. Should I? ...more
