Customer Reviews

amazing!!!!

I love this book!!! I spent an entire vacation on the beach reading this book instead on playing in the sand because I couldn't put it down. It leaves you guessing after each page. everytime I tried to guess what was going to happen, something totally unexpected would happen. I reccomend this book to everyone, unless you are under 13 because it can have very graphic details. 5 stars!!!!!

A Sweet Romance Gone Wrong

Britney was perfect. She was beautiful, dating the star of the Hockey team, and had tons of friends. One night something happened that changed everything. After a party celebrating the Hockey teams good game, and after Britney and her boyfriend had a fight, Rickey drives Britney home. Shortly after, Ricky is killed in a horrible car accident. At his funeral, Britney decided to tell everyone that he had proposed to her. After all of this has happened, Britney thinks someone is trying to kill her. Killing Britney was definitely one of the best books I have ever read. It's exciting, sad, and mysterious. I love how the author used very good description so I was able to have a good picture of what was going on in my head. This book will definitely be one of my favorite books, and Sean Olin is now one of my favorite authors. Everyone should read this book, you'll love it.

Killing Britney

When I saw this book on my library's shelves, I knew I had to read it. I love murder/suspence/thriller books and since there are not many to choose from in Young Adult fiction, I had to read it. It has short chapters which is great for people who can't stop in the middle of a chapter like me. But I definitly do not recommend this book for kids under 13. It goes into exellent detail on the charctures deaths. I read this book in 3 hours because I could not put this down. Literally! I took it with me all around the house! The end of the chapters leave you hanging so you just have to read on. I thought I knew who it was but I was wrong. I suspected the real murderer once but then said nah that's impossible. I was soo shocked and I even gasped a few times. I cried a lot and I also got mad. The end really shoked me and I had to explain the story to myself a few times before it sunk in. You really feel like your Britney with all the emotion Sean Olin put into this book. The end is amazing and full of suprise. I give this book 5 stars(it would be more but it doesn't go higher) and it's my favorite book. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

great suspense

Killing Britney was a very suspensful and interesting book. The author, Sean Olin told a story of a lonely girl whose dangerous past is begining to catch up with her. Brtiney, the main character, seemed to have the perfect life on the outside, but Olin uncovered all the dirty secrets that surrounded her so called, perfect life. I loved the way the book was written. The chapters were short, but at the end of each we would be left with a huge cliffhanger. This forced me to keep reading becuase I just couldn't stand to put the book down without knowing what happend. When the murders started piling up and twist started to be revealed I really got into the book. All of the chapters uncovered a new twist to the story. I could never tell which way the story was going to go. I really like how the author told the story from an unknown narrorator untill the end. It really made me wonder what was really going on. I didn't even realize that was part of the plot untill the end. In my opinion, this book is a really great read. It combines teenage drama with chilling murders to make one scary book. I would definetly reccomend this book to other readers looking for a murder mystery book that you wont be able to put down.
