Killing Britney Written By: Sean Olin Reveiwed By: Swimmer11

I was always enjoyed horror books. Up until now, R.L. Stine has been my favorite horror author. Now that I have completed Killing Britney, I am searching for more Sean Olin books at the library!

Killing Britney is by far the best book I've read in a very long time. This book is about a girl whose life has been turned upside down by someone who is trying to destroy her life. First, her mother dies, and, tragically, her body was never found. Then, a few years later, her boyfriend dies caused by a hit-and-run. Things get much worse as the brutal murders continue. I can't tell you any more, or I might have to kill you.
The ending is the best part in the whole book! It will shock you! Right when you think you know who it is, the book takes a shocking turn. All of a sudden, your afraid of evryone, even yourself.
I would recommend this book to readers if they are ready to be blown away! Also, if they don't mind the author explaining how these not-so-innocent victims die. Be ready to read Killing Britney, one of the best books of its time.Show Less

    Whoa!

    Twisted, gory, and unpredictable, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing. After finishing this book, I threw it across the room and then later went to retrieve it. This book is so amazingly intense and twisted that you will never forget Britney or her story.

    WOW!

    I read this, then forced my sister and my mom and about everyone I know to read it. I was so shocked to find out who the killer actually was. While reading I had a post it note and was writing my suspects and the killer was never on the list. I've read this book so many times! It's my favorite book. It's so easy to read yet so graphic in violence. I an see this book as a movie and I want to do that, turn it word for word. I hope Sean Olin continues writing. I read all the time and there are only 2 (technically 4 because the second is a series)books that kept me guessing. This and the Party Room. I cried, I screamed, I could feel myself blushing at some scenes. It brought so many emotions out in me. (My sister just walked in and said 'Best Book Ever'!)

    What a page turner!!!!

    This book will keep you guessing every step of the way!!! The detail gets to be a little gruesome, but does not take away too much from the suspense. If you want a quick but scary read, this is the one for you.

    Awesome Read

    This book is about a girl whose life has been turned upside down by someone who is trying to destroy her life. First, her mother dies, and, tragically, her body was never found. Then, a few years later, her boyfriend dies caused by a hit-and-run. Things get much worse as the brutal murders continue. That little part on the back of the book hooked me from the start, that i just had to read this book. Once i started to get into this book i couldn't put it down this was a book full of suppence i had to finish it to know who the murderer was that wanted to kill Britiney, once i finished reading it i was shocked my jaw dropped a few times in this book and trying to fogure out who the murder was,was starting to get to me. There were only a few problems about this book was that Sean Olin didn't do his reserch i lived in Manchester Nh most of my life and that is were some of the book took place for example the high schools name in the book was JFK but in reality it was Manchester Memorial, or Central. Also the newspaper was wrong in reality its called the Union Leader. Other that that it was a fantastic book,full of action. My mom read this book and my friend is currently reading it now iliked it so much. I would recommend this book to many more people who love a good horror story.

    My sister read the book and said it was amazing, so I read it and I'm really glad I did. The book keeps you wanting more and there is a different surprise around every corner. It's such a page turner. If you ever need something to read, Killing Britany is a perfect book. It was so good, it became my new favorite book! Killing Britany kept me interested and wanting more. I highly suggest it!!!

    Sooo many questions left unanswered at the end

    The only reason I read this book is because my 13 year old cousin had it and I was bored. I love a good thriller, but this was a let down. I'm always one to find mistakes in books, and this one had many: grammatical errors, punctuation,etc. It bothered me. What bothered me most was that I had more questions at the end than while I was reading the book. Even my cousin was asking me to clarify some things, but I couldn't, and I'm a 28 year old third grade teacher!

    The book was edgy and did leave me wondering who was doing the killing, but you kind of already know from the start and the ending only makes you more confused as why the killer did as they did. There was no real reason for all the murders or a clear explanation.

    The author describes each death with vivid detail and takes it farther than he need to. It's not a horror book; it's a thriller! We're talking about high school kids and he has them murdered like they're in some kind of a supernatural thrill rather than a realistic thriller.

    good but disturbing

    First of all this book should not be read by people with weak stomachs. Killing Britney was really good (at least I thought that it was good) It¿s very graphic and to some people that's really not good for these kinds of books. It was only ok for me because the (I thought) author wrote in a way that somehow made it not scary. I have to say though that I will never forget this book because it was disturbing. I know that I¿m not explaining this book very well it was a very good and well written book, but I don¿t really think that I can recommend it because I don¿t want someone to read it and be totally horrified.

From there on, Britney¿s life goes down hill once again. She gets horrible letters and CD tapes that give her suspicious clues of who might have caused the death of her boyfriend.

But, even the normal aren¿t as normal as you think they are.

    I could not put it down!

    This to me is a great book. The whole killing was a little gruesome at points. The ending is not what you expect at all. You think one thing but its totally the opposite. I could not put it down and wold certainly read it again. And I recommended it to my friends.
