I really enjoyed this book. Thought it had an original storyline and the characters were likeable but ordinary. I got a little bored sometimes and therefor I give Delirium 4 stars. The ending was really good though and I am looking forward to read the sequel.

Hmmm. The writing was okay in this book, but the story is what I don't like. Why take away love? Better take away the bad emotions like hatred or anger... No? xD I think that would be much better, but hey... that's just my opinion. xD

Received this book from the fabulous Lyndsey Lore, at her blog Strangemore. Thanks, Lyndsey, for this wonderful giveaway and opportunity!

Oliver's prose is gorgeous. GORGEOUS.

Yeah. Like that.

Delirium is a beautiful story with a motley, interesting crew of characters. The plot throws you around, and some things that happen are just SO not expected.

Be prepared to love.

I sooooo want to go into Barnes & Noble and ask if I can just buy the book jacket. I need the new one! When I get PANDEMONIUM someday they can't not match!
Or maybe I'll just buy the new one . . . *ponders*
