Book Review: Delirium

I just finished Delirium by Lauren Oliver. It only took about three days to finish. It was just that good.

Here is a discription:

There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it. Then, at last, they found the cure. Now, everything is different. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Haloway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. But then, with only ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable

I know it sounds really silly. I mean Love a disease?? But Lauren Oliver has amazing way with words. And I found myself really relating to the Lena character. I also was rooting for her throughout the book. Some parts I said “How is she going to get out of THIS!” I couldn’t put the book down. There is adventure, love (obviously), and people who are trying to stop Lena. I can’t wait to read Pandemonium!
