Initially, this story started like any other, and while interesting, it took a while for it to build, but build it did, and by the end I was on the edge of my seat in fear and anticipation. Oliver knows how to pack a punch, and I was taken with this story as the characters went deeper into the game, as their secrets came out, and as the stakes went higher and higher.

It was a good book but I don't know if I can call it great. I enjoyed it and the rawness of it, the story was not candy-coated at all. Everyone had their secrets, big secrets... little secrets and most of them that came out at the end. The story was built around a game called panic. During the game is when all of them came out and friendships and relationship were build, destroyed and some built again.

The summary and book jacket did not meet my expectations. I thought there would more suspense and action, but were lacking.

I wasn't really into Panic (the book and the game in the book). A lot was really predictable. The game that was supposed to be all intense bored me until the Joust at the end. But then the Joust seemed to be over in a blink and wasn't as exciting as it was built up to be.
Definitely not my favorite Lauren Oliver book. ...more

It was good. Not as good as I thought it was going to be. That might be because I really have to pee and want off this stupid plane!!
Anyways. Thought the concept was going to be better than it turned out to be. Didn't completely love the writing style. ...more
