I knew the basic premise of the book from the recommendations I received, but was still thrilled while reading it. I expected a betrayal by Hana but she surprised me. The ending surprised me as well. I know there are books following this one so it makes me wonder how the story will continue...

I'm so distraught right now, I need to read book 2 asap
I guess the real underlying issue I have with this book is; Why?
Why cure love? What kind of weird thought process ends up with love being the basis for illness? Is there even a government in this world? If so, how do they control a million little blocked off towns? How does this world work when none of the cities can connect or communications with one another?
Clearly, curing love does nothing in the way of controlling people considering there are always sympathizers and people who rebel against it and that even kids realize how weird it all is even though all of their family members have been cured...
I am so confused...

I had an issue with the first half of the book and it was that the main character Lena wasn't likable. She seemed weak and a little annoying, to be honest with you. In addition, the book was slow-paced. I kept getting description after description of the loveless country she lives in instead of interesting information. I felt that Hana might have been a better main character (which is why, I guess, Lauren Oliver created a short in-between book that focused on Hana). I have to say, Lena does get better though, stronger and more interesting in the next book.
I wish Oliver went into further detail about Grace, Lena's little cousin. I had so many questions! She was really interesting.
If you weren't convinced by Delirium to continue onto Pandemonium, I say screw that doubt and read the second book! Seriously. I wasn't going to read the next book because this one wasn't very interesting to me. I'm glad I ended up reading the second one. It was so much better!
