I...I'm glad that you ended up liking this book! I agree that it's a little slow, but I think the ending definitely makes up for the slow beginning. I also really loved Lena as a main character. You'll get to know her and love her even more in the second one [which has a KILLER cliffhanger, which you've probably heard about!]. Great review!! =) <br /><br />-Aneeqah @ <a href="http://mynotsorealife.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Not So Real Life</a>Aneeqah @ My Not So Real Lifenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-87845442754271111412012-05-29T02:41:31.420+02:002012-05-29T02:41:31.420+02:00YEEEEY!

...YEEEEY! THE SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL RIGHT. :") <br /><br />Definitely. But I think you'll see that coming too. It's worth the read, I believe. Lena is too kick-ass there! <br /><br />I wish you'll meet Lauren Oliver soon! She's such an amazing person to talk to.<br /><br />PS. Read Liesl & Po. It's a Middle Grade book but I think you'll enjoy it. You'll love Po, I think. ;)franchie15noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-42182222301664819142012-05-29T01:58:19.776+02:002012-05-29T01:58:19.776+02:00I thought I was the only person who thought Deliri...I thought I was the only person who thought Delirium was more contemporary than dystopian as well, lol.

There's...Yeah, tame is a very good word for it. There's none of the violence and danger that's common in dystopians (until the last pages). I didn't mind, though, because I just enjoyed reading about Lena's life and the world she lives in :)Hannah Doermannhttp://www.paperbacktreasures.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-4078893176292395372012-05-28T21:56:26.949+02:002012-05-28T21:56:26.949+02:00***Note for everyone else: My comment includes spo...***Note for everyone else: My comment includes spoilers, so don't read on if you haven't read Delirium!***<br /><br /><br />I can definitely see the very descriptive writing being a problem for some readers. I've heard Pandemonium has a lot more action, though - do you think you'll give the books another chance?<br /><br />I didn't mind Lena because I thought her character was very realistic - she's not super strong and brave like a lot of dystopian MCs, which I guess can make some people dislike her, but to me, it just made her more relatable.<br /><br />At first, I thought Hana totally changed, too, but I read somewhere (can't remember where, sorry) how that was supposed to show the difference between Hana's strength and Lena's strength - Hana is always very in-your-face about it and seems very confident, but isn't strong when it really counts, when it comes to leaving society for a life with love - and Lena is the oppsite, not being very confident most of the time but showing real strength in the last few scenes. That made a lot of sense to me, and made me not mind Hana's seeming change in character.<br /><br />Sucks you didn't enjoy this one :(Hannah Doermannhttp://www.paperbacktreasures.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-68052534630852884092012-05-28T21:54:40.391+02:002012-05-28T21:54:40.391+02:00Squeeee!

It definitely stands out among dystopians, IMO, for the reasons you gave :) And Alex! He's my favourite. I adore him! I still tear up thinking about that ending <3 Pandemonium definitely has much more action. I hope you enjoy it too!Brenna (EverAfterEsther)http://everafteresther.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-69437245441608626952012-05-28T21:53:37.153+02:002012-05-28T21:53:37.153+02:00I so loved this book. And I definitely love Lauren...I so loved this book. And I definitely love Lauren Oliver! I met her here in our country last March and she is absolutely adorable. ;)<br /><br />I love Before I Fall too. It's one of those books that I kept thinking till now. I agree with you about her writing. I feel like she is more of a contemporary kind of author. But still, I love whatever she writes because her writing is not hard to fall inlove with. You have to read Pandemonium and mind you, it has a big cliffhanger there. Just daaaaamn!<br /><br />Know what, the idea of love as a disease creeps me. I don't think I want to be controlled like that. To be told what to do with my own life. It's like I'm just a puppet of them. It's just so scary for me. On the other hand, I think it would be totally fun not to feel pain. If they will control my feelings then I would have not to worry about getting hurt. But that's what love is right! Getting hurt and standing up! That's my opinion. Haha. Anyway, I'll still choose to be uncured. I'd gladly risk getting hurt to feel the wonders of love. ;)<br /><br />Since I so love you, Hannah, I'd share this song with you. I love this one. The band made it totally for the trilogy. I hope you love it too! soundcloud.com/minnie-birch/deliriumfranchie15noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-2674103210597308792012-05-28T21:53:27.200+02:002012-05-28T21:53:27.200+02:00This was one of the dystopian novels that stood ou...This was one of the dystopian novels that stood out to me in 2011! It was kinda fluffy no? Unlike most dystopian novels - it's kinda ...tame. Completely agree with you on the point that it's more contemporary than dystopian. Nothing really happens until the VERY LAST PAGES! I really liked the romance build-up, not a huge fan of insta-love.
