Read from December 15 to 17, 2011

Lauren Oliver is a new author for me. Her book Before I Fall has been on my to read list for a while but I have not found the time to read it yet. I received an ARC of Pandemonium so I decided it was past time to give her books a try. Since Pandemonium is the second book in the series I obviously had to start with Delirium.

I loved Delirium! Despite this being a very busy time of year I devoured this book in just a couple days. I loved the premise of this dystopian story... love is a disease that must be feared and cured. Well written with great characters I could relate to - this was a book I didn't want to put down.

To be fair I must warn you....this book ends with a huge cliffhanger. I'm glad I had a copy of Pandemonium that I could start as soon as this book ended. With an ending like this one had I am sure Pandemonium will leave me hanging as well but that's not stopping me for reading it!



Rating: 5 Stars - I loved it!

Melissa Robinson-Arezzi I have this on my TBR pile...I just haven't gotten around to it yet


Jennifer I loved this one!


Amber Great review! This book is one that totally demands your attention so that everything has to take the back seat until you're finished. Can't wait for your "Pandy" review :)


Cheney Wish I could get my hands on Pandemonium... so jealous! Before I Fall is one of my absolute favorite books. You will not be disappointed.


Misha I loved this one, too! And I haven't even read Pandemonium, lol.

Christy I have been wanting to read this but haven't had the time yet! My daughter read Before I Fall and didn't like it so we've been hesitant about Delirium and Pandemonium. I think I'll give them a read!
