Lena lives in a world where love doesn't exist. It has been classified as a disease at at the age of 18, all members of the society go through a brain altering procedure which eliminates the ability to love. However, there are resisters outside of the society, who know how important love is. Lena, though, has never fought the idea of the cure, the order and the law. She doesn't want to end up like her mother who killed herself because of incurable love. But then all begins to change as Lena is introduced into the world of the resistors.

Although Delirium can easily be compared to other dystopian books, the comparisons are fleeting. Delirium is set in a unique dystopian world which has been brilliantly crafted. The idea of eliminating love by giving brain surgery is fascinating and the "blah"ness of the characters with the cure really hit home. To only care about order and law must really be a horrible way to live (but I can only see that because I do have the capacity to care).

I gave this books 3 stars instead of 4 (which I did consider) because of a couple reasons:
-I really felt that the beginning was quite slow. It was too easy to put down and took too long to get into. The last 200 pages, however, were fantastic.
-I want to know more! What did the scientists find? What were the bombings in the wild supposed to accomplish? How did they persuade the nation? How did they change history? I want to know more!
