♥ Sarah ♥ added it

Prediction based on the summary: "...and wonders if she may be falling in love again."

1. She "falls in love" with another boy.
2. She then finds out Alex didn't actually die and he comes back into the picture.
3. And thus the ever-popular YA love-triangle is born.

Did I mention I hate love triangles? No? I do.

If Alex doesn't make it...then my heart will implode. I really hope that Pandemonium has the following or I'm not sure I'd make it through this book:

-Alex is alive, in prison, and not "cured" (because no one better touch a hair on his head!!!)
-Lena WAITS for him, gets stronger, and *drum roll* rescues him
-Lena doesn't fall in love with some other dude with pretty eyes and kissable lips or I'd SOS him.
(Shoot on Sight)

So the book is coming out Fe More...

I fell in love with Delirium as hard as Lena fell for Alex, and when the ending hit, my heart tore into two directions. One, I wanted to jump inside the book and throw Alex over the fence; second, I practically cried and pushed Lena into the woods. It was tragic like Romeo and Juliet, and I can't wait for Pandemonium.

But watch this happen...

Lena is living on her own in the Wilds, having a good time and feeling free. And she meets some guy and he becomes her first real fr More...

I almost had a heart attack when I saw the cover!!!! :) So beautiful! Delirium is one of my favourite books ever!!! The story and Oliver's writing... Gah I can't even explain what it did to me. I finished the whole book in one sitting which should mean something. I just pray for one thing. I'm positive that Alex is alive. I'm not sure if he'll have the cure or not. The only thing I don't want in Pandemonium is a love triangle. I'm sorry but this always kills romance for me. In my opinion someone More...

My Thoughts: DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU HAVEN'T READ DELIRIUM. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????

Uh, I'll start this review off with what I wrote on goodreads as soon as I finished.

If you thought Delirium was great you will be blown away by Pandemonium. I wish I had the next book. OMG. I want to both cry and scream right now.....

Why, why, why did I read this so soon? LOL

I had a feeling it was going to end like that but to a More...

Giveaway going on at Bloody Bookaholic for a copy of Pandemonium!!! Ends on February 22nd.

You know how sometimes authors get a little, am, lazy on the second book of the series? It never seems to live up to the hype? Ends up kind of sucking? Yeah... (*cough*Crossed*cough*)... I know all about it and somewhere along the way you have learned this too.

I am proud to announce that Pandemonium was AMAZING, it LIVES UP TO THE HYPE, and it won't let you down at all. Such a freaki More...

The World You Thought You Knew Is Gone

It all started with Amor Deliria Nervosa, the believed ticking time bomb within all of us that was said to be deadly. You see, to have the disease was to be weak, flawed even, and the Government demanded a stop by creating a "cure". With safety and seclusion came a life of happiness, or so Lena thought. That is, until she met Alex. When they met things chan More...

Jennifer rated it:

This book takes place "now" and "then". This confused the heck out of me for the first couple chapters probably because I didn't pay attention to the chapter's titles I was just so excited to get reading. "Then" starts in August and is everything that takes place from the minute Lena left Alex and ran into the wilds. We get to see every heartbreaking struggle as she found a new place to stay and met new people. She isn't sure whether she wants to live or die but she More...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I read Deirium over and over again until I could quote the book! And after that I was really angered with the fact that I would probably never be able to find a book as good as Delirium. It become my instant #1 favourite book. Still though I searched and found similiar dystopian/romance novels but none of them stood out to me. Still angry I looked at Lauren Oliver's profile hoping she wrote another romance novel and to my happy surprise I found this.

Oh mah gawsh. This now has a cover and a description. Um, okay, I kind of hate the cover. It doesn't match the first book much at all. But, the plot sounds mostly pretty cool. Except the "falling in love AGAIN" part. Crap. If there's going to be a love triangle, I'll scream.

Update: Wait okay, I didn't realize how long I had to wait for this. I thought it was coming out in the fall for some reason. But it doesn't come out until MARCH? FUUUUU-----!!!

My only concern stems from this one line: "and wonders if she may be falling in love again."

I'm predicting the dreaded upcoming storyline. Lena is now on her own and thinks Alex is dead. She meets up with some people in the Wilds, and starts to fall in love with one of the guys. Then, toward the end of the book, she finds out that Alex is still alive and OMG MAJOR CONFLICT OF EMOTIONS. Lena and the others decide they have to try and save Alex. Cue the next book in the series, More...

I loved this book so much! I could read it over and over again!
I must admit I was a little sceptical at first, since I read that line "..and wonders if she may be falling in love again." I thought: "Okay, if she falls in love with another man, I will hate him, and her, too."
But the story is so amazing... As she struggle to survive in the Wilds, she becomes strong, but also vulnerable carrying the weight of her past.
She is so determinate that her escape and a More...

*****WARNING******
This review WILL contain spoilers. I will try to be as vague as possible with details, but if you do not want spoilers- please don't read this!

I have a theory. You see, I just finished Pandemonium ten minutes ago and couldn't stop thinking about it. I NEEDED to get my thoughts down on paper. This doesn't happen very often with book reviews. My theory is this: the Delirium trilogy is similar to a puzzle. In the first book, Lena is docile, weak, a More...

Nina rated it:

To say that I've been dying to read this book is a bit of an understatement. Actually, it's as much of an understatement as saying that book bloggers are slightly looking forward to seeing The Hunger Games on the big screen, as saying that Edward Cullen fans are a little enthusiastic. You get my point? Pandemonium was on my Top Ten Most Anticipated Books of 2012 last year. Then I read it. Now it's one of my favorite books read so far this year. You might be afraid of it being a letdown, as seque More...

3.5 stars (Listen, when you read Melina Marchetta books over and over again, it does something to your ability to receive other books that are, in comparison, sub-par, and thus you're less inclined to be generous)

Well. I definitely found this book to be more action packed and suspenseful than the 1st installment. (The kicker for me in the last book was the ending), but I still found myself going with the motions rather than getting swept up and paranoid about what was to come next. T More...

WHAAAAAT.THE.FUDGE! That ending! That ending has me going:

And it’s that awesome ending, cliffy-crappy as it is that accounts for most of what I loved in this book. Because truth be told, I feel like I knew what was going to happen next. every. single. time.

Her getting used to the new place felt quick to me; too quick in fact, because one moment she’s struggling to survive, and the next she’s helping out and making connections with all thes More...

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that this book doesn't end up with that ridiculously overdone love triangle between three characters even though you KNOW who she's REALLY going to end up with no matter what...But also...I REALLY freaking hope Alex isn't dead, that would just be too much, too mean, too just plain WRONG!!

I've just finished my advance copy of pandemonium and already I'm desperate to read on! I hate doing this to myself, elated at advance reading copy, devastated at having to wait an age for the final instalment!
However, it is another enthralling chapter in the trilogy, it won't disappoint. I don't want to write too much but it's as beautiful as the first but in a different way. Lena is maturing and coming to terms with her expectations of life beyond the fence, the story takes place in 2 mai More...

Blah. Debating whether to give this 3 or 2.5 stars. Flipping back and forth between times every chapter made it pretty impossible for me to connect to the story. I would have much rather had it be linear. And I thought <spoiler>Lena</spoiler> falling in love with <spoiler>Julian</spoiler> was very trite and rushed. And the ending just made me say, "Oh Puh-lease!"

I loved the first one, and I don't think this one is just suffering from "second-boo More...

Lauren Oliver, kill me!
I´m sooo happy I won an e-book copy of this book. And I´m so excited!
It has been less than 11 hours since I finished to read this book. And less than 24hr since I started.

First of all. Most reviews circulating on the wed contains a lot of spoiler that almost succeeded in ruining the surprise of the book if you continue reading them ....

Tras la magnífica Delirium, esa novela que se abrió paso hacia nuestra estanterías con una simple portada gris y una preciosa historia en su interior, llega dentro de poco la ansiada segunda parte, Pandemonium. Y si la primera nos dejó sin palabras, no hablemos de su continuación: el ritmo, la acción, esa nueva Lena y, sobre todo, el amor.

Bad, bad, Courtney! How dare you promise to review Pandemonium and not finish. Okay, maybe I should go into deeper detail. At least have some sort of review to share, especially since there is a 'why' to my not completing the book. One thing I can tell you, though, is that I flipped to the end. So, I at least know how it ends.

The thing is...the ending is the best part. Not the beginning. Not the middle. The end. The last two pages to be exact, are what I (didn't) read the entire book More...

My Totally Spoiler-Free List of 4 Things You Should Know About Pandemonium, the Delirium Sequel:

1. Your heart might break a little.
Then again, it's Lauren Oliver, and we sort of love how she breaks our hearts, don't we? So what did you expect?

2. It's a lot more apocalypse-book-like than I anticipated.
Like, running in the woods. Stabbing things. Lots of blood and bruises. Starvation. BUT I LOVE THAT STUFF! Like, in fiction only. Don't worry.

3. The writing c More...
