Panic by Sharon M. DraperI consider myself very lucky to have had the pleasure of working with the talented author Sharon M. Draper for more than 12 years. I love her books and I have had the opportunity many times over the years to accompany Sharon to events and award ceremonies and witness firsthand the power of her stories and the way they have deeply touched middle school and high school students, their teachers, and librarians. My personal favorites of hers include Copper Sun, Double DutchI don't use star ratings, so please read my review!(Description nicked from B&N.com.)Diamond knows not to get into a car with a stranger.But what if the stranger is well-dressed and handsome?

DNF I found this boring for a kidnapping book. Diamond makes the mistake of trusting the wrong man. He offers her the chance to audition for the part of her dreams so she lets her logic fly out the window. The parts from Diamonds POV were disturbing but luckily not too many details were given. But it was no Stolen, Held, or The Breakaway. There was like one sentence of Stockholm Syndrome thrown in randomly. Diamond mentions that she looks forward to her captor bringing her clothes and food
THIS WAS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ AND I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE WHO HAS AMAZING TASTE IS BOOKS! I loved the thrill and everything! 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10 rating
3.5 starsI felt like this book tried to address too many issues in one short book. One the one hand, you have a girl abducted, on the other there is a girl being abused by her boyfriend. It seemed like they were only dealt with superficially. A longer book might have been better to really delve into the problems that teens face. The rape scenes were handled very well. They were not graphic, but there was no doubt in your mind what had happened. It was a hard enough book to read without intense
Panic was a crazy read for me. I as a mother would completely freak out if my child was to be kidnapped. This story starts out like any other story and what is so shocking is that Diamond would be so trusting. I have taught my children not to talk to strangers but to also go with their own gut feeling and if something is off run and scream and don't stop until you find a police officer.Diamond is so trusting that when the stranger comes and talks to her she agrees to go with him. Then she wakes
5/5 Amazing book!! Intense. Diamond goes through so much, and her friends care so much that everything becomes one chaotic mess. How has no one ever turned Thane in? This book is real. We all want to meet famous celebrities, even if it means going with a stranger and risking our lives... That one sentence, "Think of how jealous your friends will be when they see you with celebs."So true... we'll risk anything.
