İlk kitaptan iyiydi kesinlikle.
Başları yavaş, sonları aşırı tempolu.
Ve size temin ediyorum, yazar resmen cani! İki kitapta da sonunda yapacağını yapıyor, son sayfaya bakakalıyorsunuz. Kitabın önce - şimdi düzenini otururken zorlandım ama alışınca ve olaylar kızışınca son 150 sayfa resmen beni benden aldı. Seriye olan sevgim bu kitapla arttı. Reqiuem'i istemek ne kelime, resmen ihtiyacım var.

I saw the ending of this book coming, yet I'm still shell-shocked. I’m not even sure where I want the plot to go from here.
As with many young adult series that have been published in recent years, Delirium probably should have remained a stand alone novel. I don't hate this book, it was just so predictable I got a bit bored. So bored, I really have no desire to read the last one. And the love triangles need to stop.

I hate my love for these types of books. Finished the book in 2 nights. Not bad for the middle book, usually they're hard to keep interested but this wasn't bad for the setup to book three.
I'm proud of Lena. I was worried how she would do but she was relatable in moving forward in circumstances you're thrown into.

Oh. My. Gosh. What? Oh my gosh. I cannot even right now. I mean, like--what???!!!
So, I was greatly impressed by this book. It built nicely from where Delirium left off, and the alternating timeline was unconventional but not distracting. I thought flashing back and forth from then to now to then worked well to fill in the blank spaces and to show Lena as an active, thinking character--something I thought she lacked in the first book was any amount of active choice in the story, and Pandemonium took steps to make sure that she was participating in things this time around, and not just letting them happen to her. I felt like Oliver really found the voice for the series a lot easier to convey this time, too, and the plot was a lot more logical and fluid, as opposed to the first book where I think it ended up feeling like a lot of things all strung together by the end of the novel.
My most lasting impression of the first book was "interesting world, interesting ideas, so-so everything else," so I really wasn't expecting to find this book as absorbing and entertaining as I did. After all, I knew going into the books that they were a trilogy, and that I had to expect a certain amount of screwing around until Oliver got to the last book. In my experience, that's how a lot of trilogies end up being written, particularly dystopian trilogies. But Pandemonium managed to keep out of the sophomore slump and stayed interesting and engaging throughout. I actually found my heart pounding at one point, which was a total shock to me since very rarely do I find myself so caught up in a book that my reactions to it are physical.
My biggest criticism is that the book keeps only Lena from the first novel. Granted, Hana and Alex can't really be with Lena in the wilds (as far as we know), and her family wasn't going to follow her, but there is literally only Lena in this completely new world for the entire book. We quickly get to know and like the new people she meets, but I wanted someone to show up for her to recognize and be thankful for. Or barring that, I wanted someone to become more sisterly and friendly with her. Lena feels very isolated in this book, and while it does work for the plot, I wanted a little bit of warmth for her to cling to, a little hope (Julian doesn't count, because they spend most of their time not trusting each other, and there's a harshness to their relationship that put me off).
So, anyway. I recommend this one, if you were so-so on the first one, like I was, because it's a very nice change of pace from the stagnancy of the first book.
