About this author

Lauren Oliver comes from a family of writers and so has always (mistakenly) believed that spending hours in front of the computer every day, mulling over the difference between “chortling” and “chuckling,” is normal. She has always been an avid reader.

She attended the University of Chicago, where she continued to be as impractical as possible by majoring in philosophy and literature. After college, she attended the MFA program at NYU and worked briefly as the world’s worst editorial assistant, and only marginally better assistant editor, at a major publishing house in New York. Her major career contributions during this time were flouting the corporate dress code at every possible turn and repeatedly breaking the printer. Before I Fall is...more

“I love you. Remember. They cannot take it”
Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”

Jessica I loved Requiem! I have to say, usually there is something, some small thing in all books that I would change, I wouldnt touch a thing in this one. It was FANTASTIC! I know some feel that there is no closure for a few characters. But I think that is EXACTLY how it should have been. You could slowly see it all throughout the book. Each character heading toward their ultamate ending. I could almost feel where everyone should be and with whom by the end of the pages. Not that I wish things couldnt have been different for some(two in particular), but it seemed that is just the way things NEEDED to end.

So CONGRATS! Keep it up. Cant wait to get my hands on something new of yours. Thank you for entertaining me! And helping me see a little more clearly how to LIVE FREE OR DIE.

message 114: by Bre (last edited Mar 12, 2013 01:21pm)

Bre I LOVE THE BOOK!!!!!! I'm on page#305 and I started this yesturday!! I love Alex so much and I can see myself relating to Lena. I love Hana, she reminds me of my best friend going through a rebellious stage...she just wants to have fun and not be bossed by the regulators or raiders. She just wants to have fun like any teenager would love to do. Omg when Alex took Lena to the his house in the Wilds was flipping increditable. I was speechless...anyway I'm going to be starting the second book tomorrow for sure. Thanks for signing my books too! I was at the book signing at MV and loved it. :)
From your fan,
Bre

Marisa Purcell I just received an advanced reader's copy of Requiem! I feel like I won the lottery!! You ROCK!! I'm loving it already!!!


message 108: by Vicki

Vicki Hi Lauren, first let me say, I love you & your writing is amazing!!! I was so looking forward to the Movie, yet scared of how it would turn out....then on one hand the TV Series sounds like an amazing idea too, but as a HUGE fan of yours (a fully grown ADULT fan at that) I honestly don't know what to feel. So, I'm on the fence. I think I'm scared that they will ruin your amazing work in the "transformation" process. IDK I guess I'm nervous that one of my favorite Books is going to crash & burn b/c of the changes.....are you involved in the process? Do you get any say in what happens?!


message 107: by Erin

Erin EEP! I am so excited that you accepted my friend request. I honestly would have never heard of you if it weren't for the giveaways on this site. I won Before I Fall, and then I ended up buying Delirium and Pandemonium as soon as I finished Before I Fall. Anyways, thanks for accepting. I can't wait for Requiem!


message 106: by Yousra

Yousra Hi! I just wanted to say thanks for accepting my friend request. It really means a lot to me, because you are an amazing inspirational author. Your books are so deep and awesome! I love writing and hope that I can write books that are as amazing as yours!


message 105: by Vanessa

Vanessa Hola Lauren!! Thanks for accepting my friend invite! Just wanted to say that i love your Delirium series and I am desperately waiting for the final book to release! i absolutely love and envy your writing!


Lauren ~School's back so I might be less active~ I just heard about you writing something from Alex's POV! I swear I almost passed out with excitement xD


message 103: by Olivia

Olivia That moment on Goodreads Choice Awards knowing none of the cover books, I clicked on the "Goodreads Author category" and it only loaded on picture. So I moved the mouse over the space where the one next to it was supposed to be and voila! The URL link shown told me that that book was Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. Needless to say, I didn't wait for the others to load...I just clicked the "Vote" button immediately. Anything wrong? Nope. In case you were wondering, no there weren't any other books on there that I had loved...


message 102: by Reena

Reena Hi Lauren,
Thanks for accepting me as your friend. I've just read Delirum and Before I fall and it is really amazing. I can't wait to read the rest.

En Hello :). Thank you for accepting my friend request. I looooooooooooooooooooooved Delirium and Pandemonium! Cannot wait for the next book. Greetings. :)


message 98: by Julia

Julia Hi! I really love your Delirium Series! Cant wait for thenext book :) ill have to check out your other books soon!

Okay, all through Pandemonium I was right by Lena when she was getting over Alex's death. (I was like arguing with myself whether or not alex was really dead, but Lena believing it kinda made up my mind for me i guess.) I was even kind of happy when she started to like Julian, you know, to help get over Alex. Right when I came to terms with Alex's death...BAM!... the ending.... I dont know whether Im Team Julian or Alex now.... maybe Ill know before the end of the next book. I have some serious thinking to do :)

message 81: by Jeremy

Jeremy Hi Lauren, Just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the Delirium series, I'm halfway through Pandemonium at the moment. Delirium is my constant pick for best YA novel of 2011, and I've been telling everyone. (I'm discouraged by the amount of attention Divergent keeps getting, when I find your work in Delirium to be far superior, but I keep spreading the word)!

Here's wishing you the best in God's blessings. Psalm 103

Melissa Love love love your work!! You are such an amazing writer.... Thank you for sharing your talent with us! :)
