Lauren Oliver seems to be a hit and miss author for me. I really, really loved Delerium, but Pandemonium fell flat for me. I'm still listening to Requiem so we'll see what I think about that in the end. Panic also fell flat. A plot line with such strong potential that instead ended up being quite ...
Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do. And who doesn't need $67,000?!I...
When this book first landed in my hands, I thought it was some sort of drug or dream universe. I honestly did not expect it to be the ultimate dare. Plot: This is about a small town that offers one thing: Freedom. That freedom comes with a price. The price of a bet worth thousands of dollars and o...
From the summary and some of my GR friends' reviews, this book reminds of The Long Walk by Stephen King. The same slow-burning, psychological tension that drives the plot home.

In this book, a bunch of idiots (and they're not just idiots because they are teenagers, they are actually incredi...
I am a big fan of Oliver. I’ve been carrying her torch for years now after I was greatly awed by her Before I Fall and Delirium (with the exception of that awful Requiem) novels. However, that torch started to lose its brightness after my sore disappointment with Requiem. As I now hold the said torc...
OVERALL IMPRESSION: I liked the sweet note from Lauren at the beginning of the book. I'm not sure if this is in all copies since I read from an ARC, but it was nice of her to include it.There has been a lot of hype over this book, but I just don't get it. The book was fine, but it wasn't near one of...
The summary is very intriguing. It's a totally unbelievable idea made into a completely believable story. I had a hard time with the part of the story that has them with $67,000 for the pot plus additional money to pay the two judges. The author states that every school day of their senior year each...
