But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.
Published by: Hodder & Stoughton (UK)
Released: Out now!
Doesn't the blurb just make you want to read more? It did to me, so what did i do? I bought it, poor little broke me! I confess i am a HUGE fan of dystopian novels when they are done well and when they aren't done well, i slate it and donate the book as it doesn't deserve a place on my overly crammed bookcase. This review is a shorty as i don't have much time!
Delirium is a dystopian fans dream, a fresh take on what it would be like and the ridiculous things 'governments' would do and say. So love is classed as a disease that they have found the cure for although they can only give it too them when they are 18. Lena's Mum was immune to the cure and was taken when she was younger so she lives with her extended family most of whom have been cured. Lena will struggle through ordinary teenage problems with a dystopian twist, Will i still be good friends with Hana after the procedure? How can i fall in love with Alex. (oomph!)
This novel is so beautifully written and described i felt like i was in the novel living Lena's life. The plot is so well integrated the reader knew what would happen but would still not expect it.
It comes into its own about two thirds through where the action picks up before te reader is dumped unceremoniously on the edge of a very high cliff. So as you do, look online and find book two 'Pandemonium' is out later this year! YAY!
Dystopian novels are not for everyone but if you are yet to try one, this is going to be one of my top three dystopian series!
