Book 76🎧 2.5⭐️

I really wanted to like this one but it just didn‘t do it for me. It reminded me a lot of “The Game”…. And I preferred that one over this.

I thought The Game was too short, and this one too long! I just didn‘t feel the tension in this and it fell flat. Not enough razzle dazzle to keep my attention✨

But I heard good things about the show, so I‘ll give that a shot!🙃

Very good.

i only wanted to read it so i could watch the amazon show. it took me forever to get through but it was decently entertaining. and i liked the happy ending

I went into this wanting more Ray and boy was I disappointed. I read this because I binge watched the show in all it's cheesy, ridiculous drama. This was just as eye-rolly dramatic but like.. how did the show come from this? Nearly every character is different (some better, some worse) and really there's just the premise of the game, some challenges, and a tiger that's the same. The ending of this sucked and have I mentioned like no Ray? Wtf.

I enjoyed reading this book for a second time. I really delved into it this time. The first time I read it was when I was in high school.
There‘s action, suspense, romance, & a little bit of mystery. Sounds like a lot, but Lauren Oliver handles it effortlessly. The character arcs for both the main and secondary characters were my favorite. I think they were important for a book like this.
Going to watch the show now.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½ • Read in advance of the Prime Video series. YA page turner that was a welcome addition to my mix. Kinda dark for YA, I think.

Heather and Dodge both decide to participate in the town game Panic. In the game, they take on random, dangerous challenges in order to win the big pot at the end. Who will win?
This book has been adapted in a series, which comes out Friday on Amazon Prime.

Mainly read this because I saw it was being turned into a tv show. An interesting premise. It could be fun to see how well it plays out on the small screen.

This book is part coming of age drama and part action thriller. I loved the gritty realistic vibe and not knowing what was going to happen next. I highly recommend Panic for teen and and adult audiences.
🎧 Listened as audio and the narrator Sarah Drew did an excellent job. 4 stars

Listened to the audiobook the past week before its series premiere on Prime this May 28th 🎧📖 Check it out!

Torn about how I feel about this. Very much enjoyed reading it but not really sure I was satisfied with the ending. A good read though 👍

Starting this. Been on my bookshelf quite a few years now 😂

Panic is a game based on fears...Lauren Oliver has a way of making you feel a little bit uncomfortable the entire time you read the book. Success again.

I have 4 of my original audiobooks left, but I‘ve also just downloaded Flesh and Bones to cross off a prompt for the #ScaryScavengerHunt. All in all, I‘m pretty happy with my progress so far. 🖤

Oooh! I really enjoyed this one. I haven‘t read too many books from this author, but the two that I have... I‘ve simply devoured! #24B4Monday #Scarathlon

Probably not the best book to listen to while at the dentist. 🦷😬

It‘s been ages since I‘ve read one of Oliver‘s books- but this YA thriller is an entertaining and quick read that‘s been languishing on my #MtTBR for years! It‘s sort of a re-imagining of the Hunger Games, but set in a small town in NY- and with deadly dares rather than a high tech post-apocalyptic government setting the stakes. There are some predictable parts, but some real surprises too- probably between a so-so and a pick!

Stressful in the best way. Definite YA pick.

That moment when a place mentioned in a book is a place that you know and have been!

It‘s about time I finally REALLY read this. I started it at some point, but it bored me so I put it down. Hopefully it‘s better than my memory tells me!

I really enjoyed this book and I do recommend it
I liked the characters as annoying as they might be at some points, however it‘s not one of the best books I‘ve read. The mystery was too obvious for me and the last chapter was a little boring.

I would love a cover change, I feel that a tiger would be more appropriate and more aesthetically pleasing.

The concept is enticing, but the delivery was lackluster. The writing wasn't so great. Definitely got boring quite often. The only redeeming aspect was the characters. Never bothered to read the sequels.

Panic, by Lauren Oliver, is one of those books that's really hard to put down. The tension is maintained throughout the novel, as was my curiosity. #WhatToRead #booklover #YoungAdultBooks #YoungAdult #YA #YABooks #Contemporary

How do I know I can trust you?' she said finally.
'That's the thing about trust.' He crunched an ice cube between his teeth. 'You don't know.

??Panic habe ich noch nicht gelesen und ihr? Außerdem liebe ich meinen Simba Funko Pop weil ich der König der Löwen soo toll finde ?♥️ ???? I haven't read Panic by Lauren Oliver yet, do you? And by the way, I really love my Simba funko pop because the lion king is my favourite Disney movie and I absolutely love it ?♥️

Starting to pack a little bit. It is almost 21st and i haven't received my #summersantagoespostal package yet. Hopefully it will arive soon. @BookishMarginalia

This could have been great but copped out too many times (especially the ending.)

I listened to this book on audio because I needed something to listen to while at work. This book is not like and should not be compared to the Hunger Games. While there are some similar aspects this book is its own. Given that, it was suspenseful in some parts, particularly towards the end. Some of the characters quickly got on my nerves but the story is well told. Not a fan of the audiobook narrator though.

Fast-paced, well-rounded characters, and (coming from a poor community) an interesting yet believable premise. The ending left a few things unexplored that I really felt would have made this a more complete novel. Still, I enjoyed it.

Continuing with my enjoyment of Lauren Oliver's standalone novels, Panic was actually the first of hers that I read. I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. There's a great building of tension as the stakes are raised higher and higher. It's small-town life at its lowest and darkest.

"Run until I burst. Build miles and miles and miles between me and Carp. Leave the old Heather behind; burn her to dust."

Just started this audio book a few minutes ago and it belongs with, "Saturday, June 18th..." Spooky!!!

Started this last night and CAN NOT PUT IT DOWN.
