wonder if I can sneak in one or two chapters just to know. So I'm gonna put it in the next available slot so I can know something VERY important. I do have book two and want very much to dig in but my review schedule will not allow it. That cliff hanger ending was heart breaking. I did guess a few things right but, really, I read so much that I can usually guess most of it right.

I loved how the story turned when I was expecting it to twist and twisted when I thought is was going to turn. They certainly didn't have instant love but instead developed a great relationship. The story line was fast pasted and sweet. I could see myself clinging to what I had alway believed in the face of evidence to the contrary. So normal, really, but that's what makes it so good. She resists changing that mind set but her internal dialogue is fabulous. She has been raised to believe lies her whole life. All I'll say is that it involved a crazy dance around a statue missing a hand. One of my very favorite scenes was when he explains the 'why me' to Lena. He has a fun personality with a very sweet side.

Again, I could draw parallels to social problems where the cure is far worse than the problem. It was incredible how those who had been 'cured' didn't even see the state they were in. I wonder sometimes if we are not headed for something like this as we, as a society, turn over our individual rights for the sake of safety or other equally good concepts. Then control the information to prevent people from realizing what had happened. I can totally see how an extremest group could create an attitude of fear strong enough to cause such a extreme result. The world that Lauren Oliver creates for Delirium is unique and compelling. That's high praise as far as I'm concerned. She does a good job with the voices and doesn't distract from the book. Sarah Drew narrates this book and I enjoyed her presentation. I'll start with the narrator since I listened to this book.

But as the lies she has been told all of her life starts to unravel, can she really be happy being cured at all?ĥ stars - A delicious love story set where love isn't allowed She wants every second possible to stay in love with him. If they find out then she will be cured earlier. She never saw it coming and now no one can know. She grew up excited to be cured when she turned eighteen. Love causes the sickness but Lena can't help falling in love.
