Delirium

OH MY GACHOES XD!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally JUST finished the book and that ending DESTROYED ME D: I need the next one now please :D

I can't believe I have barely heard of this book! But I read it in a few hours... it was sooo catchy! Lena is similar to me in so many ways.. so I really felt like I was her... and I was literally in love with Alex.. .every time it talked about him or anything my heart would race and I'd have a perma-grin! So... I was heart broken and devastated when he died in the end.. like EpicGirl says.. it destroyed me. When Alex died it made me not want to read the second book.. but the thought of NOT reading it [Pandemonium] was harder.. so I'm definitely gonna read it!

Lauren Oliver is an incredible author and... I would have to say this is one of my favorite books. Ever.

.....if only Alex hadn't died..... ....

Firstly,I would like to thank the author for providing me with a copy.Otherwise I may not have had the chance to read such a wonderful book.

"They say that the cure for love will make me happy and safe forever."

In a dystopic America where love is considered as a lethal disease known as amor deliria nervosa , Lauren Oliver tells the story of a timid girl named Lena and her encounter with love in such a world.

I loved how Lauren Oliver portrayed her image of a dystopic America in Delirium.At the age of eighteen,every American citizen has to go through the procedure of the "cure" which basically, in real terms,means getting rid of all the emotions present in a person.I found this concept very interesting.After all,what is a human without his/her humanity,or in other words, emotions?Emotions are what gives a person his/her humanity and makes them human.

In Lena's America,however,we see that humanity in humans is struggling to survive.There are many who,have gone through the cure and lost all their emotions.Then there are the invalids or the rebels who pretend to be cured but are actually working against the government.And finally,there are those who are below eighteen,waiting to be cured,and are in a dilemma since they are confused and don't know what to make of their emotions.

But that's just the background.The main story revolves around Lena, her wild and adventurous friend Hana,and Alex, the person who makes Lena realize that maybe love is not so horrible as everyone around her thinks.This also makes her have second thoughts on the fact that whether she really wants to get cured.

Suspenseful and dystopic, and with forbidden love at its core, Delirium is an ideal read for all YA fans.

Absolutely LOVE this book! Lauren Oliver has is an amazing author and I adore her writing style! She is just so poetic and her metaphors are to kill for!

One of my favorite books!

The idea that a world where love is a disease, they "cure" you when you turn 18 and through evaluation you are paired for life is terrifying. The book is fascinating, exciting, so beautifully written with such vivid imagery "as though I am looking at him through my camera lens, zoomed in all the way, the world pausing for that tiny span of time between the opening & closing of the shutter" Things you have felt but not been able to express so intimately. We fall in love with Alex along with our heroine Lena and feel her every feeling. The end wants to make you scream. A must read

Oh me too!!!!

THAT ENDING DESTROYED ME!!!!!!!!

“It's the way he says my name: like music.”

“You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes".”

“I love you. Remember. They cannot take it”
