Lauren Oliver did it again.
When I started reading this I was really confused about the now and then chapters and it was kinda annoying but as the book continues it really picks up and I realize that I was really looking forward to both stories. I loved how the now and then chapters complemented each other and talked simultanoeosly about the same things, that was really smart and helped the book a lot, in my opinion, because it was never boring.
I usually cry a lot, with almost every book (and movie for that matter) and this book wasn't an exception. I cried in a lot of parts, but Blue's dead was too much for me. She was just so little and so precious that it broke my heart as much as Raven's.
I miss a lot of characters through the book, Alex above all, but every time Lena stopped and remember them I was really greatful to have them again.
It was a really good book, it was better than Delirium in my opinion, and it really set the ground for Requiem. I really enjoy it, and I have to say that it was really, really worth it. It has a little bit of everything that makes a good book, emotion, action, powerful messages, and unexpected things. I loved it, and can't wait to read Requiem.

Good continuation of the story, I like how it goes back and forth between present time and time when she was learning how to live in the Wilds. Definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Another great read ! I love the story line, the characters and Lauren's writing !

I don't know why i put off reading this.
I didn't really like how there wasn't clear chapters. Only 'then' and 'now'
This book blew me away

I really disliked this book; I think my experience was worse due to listening to the audiobook, although I probably would not have finished a print copy. Here's why I dislike the book so much: it's a filler book and very little happens. The audiofile I listened to was about eight hours, eight long boring hours spent on poorly establishing the other side of a love-triangle. Yes, the shift between past and present made the writing more interesting, but this does little when the plot is irreparably boring. Like the first book, there was potential for certain themes and emotions (different from the first) to be deeply explored in this book, and they just weren't. I found this book tedious, and I've continued onto the third not because I like the plot or characters, but because I want to see how far Oliver explores ideas she introduced in the first book.
This book. Thiiiiiiiiiissss book. I didn't even mark it as currently reading or update my progress, because I sat down and read it the last 24 hours.
Pandemonium was just amazing. If you read and even somewhat enjoyed Delirium, then I would highly recommend this book. The book picks up right where Delirium left off, which is fabulous, but also flashes to "present." The narrative seems strange at first, but it was very enjoyable and kept the pacing going very quickly to the point where you find yourself unable to put the damn thing down.
I really loved Lena's character in Pandemonium as well. While I found her rather whiny in some instances of Delirium, she really began coming into her own and taking control of her life and emotions in Pandemonium. the new characters, without spoiling, are very well rounded and complex enough that the reader cares about them and what's going on with their story throughout the book as well as Lena's.
Oh and on the note of romance, prepare to swoon.
Now go out and get this book, I will wait and we can discuss when you've finished.
