Book Overview

Lauren Oliver's powerful New York Times bestselling novel Delirium--the first in a dystopian trilogy--presents a world as terrifying as George Orwell's 1984 and a romance as true as Romeo & Juliet.

In an alternate United States, love has been declared a dangerous disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have a procedure called the Cure. Living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in Portland, Maine, Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being cured and living a safe, predictable life. She watched love destroy her mother and isn't about to make the same mistakes.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena meets enigmatic Alex, a boy from the Wilds who lives under the government's radar. What will happen if they do the unthinkable and fall in love?

Delirium received starred reviews from Kirkus and School Library Journal, and was named a Best Book of the Year by USA Today, Kirkus, Amazon.com, YALSA, and the Chicago Public Library and was selected as one of NPR's Top 100 Best Ever Teen Novels.

Interesting Concept and Fast-Paced Read

Published by Angela , 1 year ago
I love the plot and concept of this book in which love is seen as a disease. It's an interesting plot that every author isn't writing about which makes it a breath a fresh air. This is the best out the trilogy series, and I fell in love with this book specifically because of the world-building, the characters, and the adventurous/ fast-paced dystopian love story

Loved this whole reading experience!

A friend of mine lent this book to me, and I was so impressed. 😮 In a future where love is considered a dangerous disease, science has discovered a procedure that can permanently keep a human from feeling emotion. But the procedure can only be performed once one has matured to the age of 18. When I tell you this book had me at the edge of my seat, I’m NOT kidding!! You can find a more detailed review of this book on my Instagram page! Check it out: @praiseworthy_pages

Very intriguing series

I love how this book focuses on the power of love. The characters are also very well developed and as you read, things may surprise you.

I absolutely adore this novel!!!!!! Being able to go on an adventure with a girl as she dives into a forbidden world of love. I couldn’t put it down.

Well written but kinda cheesy

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
The book was well written and the plot was good. The only thing that annoyed me was the relationship with the mc and her first bf(she has 2. Yes the love triangles are in book 3). His character was really good in this book but was poorly used in the later books. Most of the supporting characters are, for the most part, unlikable, but I suppose it adds to the purpose of the plot(for certain characters).

This is my confession. I'm ready to share my story and set myself free of guilt for loving Young Adult dystopian fiction. Journey with me down the twisting road that led me here, and explore some of my favorite titles I found along the way.
