Hi I love to tell people about the Panic Room.The auther is James Ellison.The approximant amount of pages is 241.The genre is an action/mystery.The setting is in New York City. What happen is it's about a women named Meg and her ten year old daughter Sarah.They buy a four story house from a millionaire.They get it for less when what it's really worth.But it has a room inside it called the Panic Room.It a security system.It makes Meg nevous.Now three men break into her house and Meg and Sarah are forced ot stay into the Panic Room. The three main reasons why i love this book is because it has suspense.Its a thriller and Meg s daughter is the same name as mine.I would advise this book for fifth graders .So the people who like action mystery and suspence books will love book like i did.

Ever wonder what you would do if someone broke into your house? Would you do as the intruders asked? Or would you take matters into your own hands?
This is a fairly good book. It is laid out well and there is some logic behind the events that take place. It gives a good idea about what the people are thinking about on either side of the stick.
While the beginning of the book is slow and dull, by the middle of the book you are addicted. Taking you from the easy life to the main action of the book. There is a lot of things that seem out of place at the time of reading it. It all comes together towards the end to make the book complete.

I just finished this book and I'm really impressed on how the plot of the story turns. Just imagine that instead of feeling safe in the panic room, Meg and her daughter felt horror and fear altogether. It's a really good book and I can't wait to see the movie. I hope all novels are like this exciting and interesting at the same time.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! It's about a mother and daughter who move from thier small town in Conneticut to the much bigger city of New York. When they finally find a house, they also stumble upon a room. The Panic Room. When three burgalars break in Meg and Sarah are forced to hide in this safe room only to find out that the burgalars are looking for what's inside the room.

I knew Panic Room was gonna be great before I even saw it. I've seen it twice so far, so when seeing the book in the book store today (yes, today), I bought it impulsively. Read it in 3 hours. It was just as suspensful as the movie, and actually stuck to the movie fairly well. In some parts, it even elaborated. Ellison has done a fairly good job giving the antagonists a little background. However, in the last 40 pages or so, the better parts of the movie are cut short. It's just so rushed in the end, with details left out that I enjoyed from the movie. It's decent, but not 100% accurate. The movie was better, in my opinion, but if you wanna relive the movie again without paying the fee, go for the book. But, like I said, don't expect the same thing.

Panic Room is a true page turner. I started and finished the book in one day. A good read!

After watching the Movie at a Premier Screening, I was fascinated at the Visual and Sound of this intense Movie by David Fincher. The next morning, I found a copy in paperback, and didnot stop reading until I was done later that evening. Engrossly entertwining Panic at ITS Best, mixed with suspense and terror for the reader!! You almost feel as if You are right along with the Two Females who are trying Their best to succeed amongst the Thugs. A Must read*

I loved this book, I couldn't put it down. I loved all the action that was packed into it. I heard of the movie and wanted to read the book before it came to the theaters. I recomend that any one who likes action thrillers to read this book. it's short, but it's a really great book.

Here's the deal, people: stay away from books that were NOT written before the movie was made. I'm not talking about books with the movie covers, that's fine, my copy of BLack Hawk Down has what's-his-face on the cover. But movies based on books are okay, however books based on movies are ridiculous and a waste of time. Those read like a teenager's book report. You guys claim "Panic Room" was a real "page-turner"...wanna know why? Because it was based on the movie, which was a cinematic pageturner, so to speak. Read a real book, don't be lazy and ignorant. If you're smart enough to read, at least read a real book, okay?

I recently finished this book a few days ago and I was very pleased with it. It's one of those that you can't put down just because you want to know what happens. The book doesnt lead you off in directions that are totally irrelevant to the plot and the suspense it great. Go get this book. I look forward to seeing the movie in March.
