Some of your name choices in "Panic" are very unusual. Well, I certaintly have never heard the names Dodge and Bishop. How did you choose these names?
Lauren Oliver
I was actually living in Portland Oregon for a time while writing PANIC, and one of our next-door neighbors had a little boy named Bishop; I just fell in love with the name, and the way it suggested someone kind-hearted, someone you could trust. The name (and character) of Dodge came from a short story I tried to write years earlier; the name always stuck with me and I was glad Dodge had the chance to take the stage in Panic.

What do you think about reading the same book twice? I mean I am totally in love with the Delirium series. Not only has it changed the way the perceive things and gives me goose bump every time I recall the name, it has made every other book really hard to enjoy. In other words, I'm finding it hard to let go and I'm always having this urgue to leave whatever book I'm reading for the time just to go back to it.

Hello Miss Oliver I read the Delirium Series and it was a really great series, then when I finished the series I read Vanishing Girls and it was great too but I got made fun of for reading Vanishing Girls they told me that book is for girls why you reading girl stuff. Even my best friends made fun of me. Is your books only for girls or is it for both genders? Thanks, Angel
