Lauren Oliver has out done herself in her new novel, Panic. After reading her book Delirium, I was unsure that I would enjoy her other novels more than I already had. But with this fresh concept and a new cast of characters, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Panic is a thrilling novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. There are many relatable aspects, from friendships, to love interests, and the motivation to do something wrong in order to potential improve your own life. That’s what makes Heather such a likeable character. She has been through so much that the game Panic seems like a piece of cake for her. But as the story unfolds, the reader is given a taste as to how hard the game really is. The story itself is basically a competition of survival of the fittest. Anyone who liked the competition aspect of The Hunger Games will enjoy this new book from Lauren Oliver. Therefore, Panic deserves 5 out of 5 stars.
The game of Panic began as many other things have in the small town of Carp; a way to entertain the people over the summer. Panic is a game where only graduated high school seniors are given the opportunity to compete in a series of dangerous and thrilling tasks for a chance to win over $50,000. Some people brag of how they will win during the school year, but for Heather she never saw herself doing something so reckless. Because now Heather must compete against her best friend, Natalie, and team up with a quiet boy named Dodge in order to have a chance at winning all of that money. However it isn’t so easy when your mother is always drunk and doing drugs, your other best friend does not approve of the game, and you don’t know who to trust. For Heather, all the odds seem against her favor; but in the middle of the game when her life becomes crazy, Heather finds the motivation she needs for a chance to win $67,000.
