I really enjoyed this book, until the last page. I am so over love triangles. Why can't a character mourn and then move on. There has to be a better way to create a conflict in a story.
Overall though, great book. I enjoyed seeing how the people in the Wilds were surviving. Julian is a great character and I really like how Miss Oliver shows his innocence and venerability with Lena.

I actually enjoyed this book more than Delirium. I prefer Lena in Pandemonium, she has a stronger voice and is much more convincing in this book. I love Oliver's writing, it's beautiful and fragile in a way I just wish the actual story line would live up to the potential of the concept, sometimes I just feel like it lack tension and conviction. Nevertheless it is a good book worth a read, especially if you read Delirium, it gets better :)
I didn't like it so much as the first book ,,, specially when the beginning was so boring I almost fall asleep ,,, But then after a while it toke whole new turn and start to be exited .
I didn't like the fact that the author makes Lena fell in love with another dude ,,,, I was saying : plzz don't do that plzzzzz ,,,,,, Now I wonder what will happened to Alex I am afraid she will make him look bad at the last book (requiem)so she makes Lena's conscience feel better -_- .
Can't wait to read the last book :3

Ok, so first of all I loved the structure of the story, swapping between Lena after she’s just gone over the fence and Lena 6 months into the future. I feel like we also really got to know Lena more as a character and I loved meeting all the new characters of the wild. THE ENDING - I mean knew, it was pretty obvious, but it was still fab! The only thing was that the story of Lena in 6months felt very stagnant, similar to Kings Cage from the Red Queen series, they were just stuck there, for ages, and that was it. But other than that I loved it!
Loved the first one, so i cant wait to see what happens next!
Wow. I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait for the next one... I need to know what happens! Definitely a solid sequel, I liked this one better than Delirium (which is saying something, because that was a pretty good book).
4.5 estrellas solo porque los plot twist son predecibles PERO ESE FINAL POR DIOS ME CAI DE CULO. Super adictivo. Lean está saga por dios es EXCELENTE.
AHH I want the next book to come out NOW! Can't wait to discuss this with my daughter, since she's the only other person I know that I has read it. Good book, almost as good as the last one. I'm not a big fan of Julian, but that didn't take away from the story. I like how she set up the chapters (Then, Now) as two timelines that converge at the end. Good stuff. Haven't been disappointed by this author yet. Just bought Hana (the ebook.)
First of all, when will the love triangles end? I am so beyond tired of love triangles. I am so fed up with the stale love triangle scenario. Break from the pack and give a girl just one paramour to contend with. Somebody. Please. Give us a girl whose head can't be turned.
Beyond that, I kind of enjoyed it. I was so taken by the imagery of Lena's rebirth, running and crawling through the dirt in the wilderness, away from Alex and Portland. And then it got a bit less poetic and half the time I wondered why the hell was it taking so long for Lena and Julian to escape from underground. I felt the story became stagnant because a huge portion of the book was just the two of them woodenly interacting with one another in tunnels. I kept waiting for the story to start, then I realized I was over halfway through the book.
When Lena first ate in the homestead she was told "no spoons, no forks, no nothing" and then after hauling water in buckets said her fingers were too swollen and blistered to hold her fork. It's not a huge issue, but it's one of those small things that jolts you a bit out of the story wondering how that didn't get caught in editing.
About Lena's mother, in Delirium I got the impression that she was a little manic. Pandemonium seems to have glossed over her faults and transformed her into a high-up, self-controlled Resistance fighter. Maybe she just underwent a rebirth upon escape like Lena did, but it feels too clean for a character like Lena's mother. Also, I felt that at the rally in Times Square, the fact that DFA banners are in red and white were a small allusion to Nazism. Other things that got left out: How exactly did a bunch of wilderness homesteaders suddenly become secret agents in an organized freedom fighting movement?
I've noticed in other reviews people can't put on their suspension of disbelief goggles for the whole love removal procedure thing. It's not a removal of a specific emotion, it's more like a form of mild lobotomy that renders the cured unable to feel strong emotions such as passion or anger or love. Which begs the question: How do the Cured impregnate each other?
