Back When I read BEFORE I FALL by Lauren Oliver, Everyone was raving about it. And while I liked it, I did not think It was as great as Everyone was Claiming. So when i read about DELIRIUM, I did not get my hopes up. Boy purpose Was I surprised! This book was so much better than BEFORE I FALL!
Right off the bat, I Was engrossed in the story. A world without love? Even I can not imagine HAVING to live and not being white ble to feel things. I really can not fathom it. I am a very emotional person, so the idea of being "cured" of the "disease" is astonishing to me! Aim the way the community Was Described made it feel so real. Very scary! (I loved the quotes That Were at the Beginning of Each chapter. - They Were from "real" books talking about the disease)
Quickly I Grew to love Lena. She tried so hard to be good and follow the rules, yet she Knew something was wrong and she Followed her * gasp * heart. And I loved Alex, too! What a sweet guy!
There are several surprises in this story. I have to say That I Personally About did not like the ending, goal That Does not stop it from being white an amazing story. The ending is good and it fits; it's just not what I thought Was going to happen. It's been awhile since I have felt That Strongly about a book and thought about it so much Afterwards. So far, this is my favorite book of the year!
