OH MY GOD!! Once again Lauren Oliver does it!! First of all, I love her unique style of writing! She describes scenes and feelings with such an awesome choice of words that you see exactly what the character sees and feel exactly what Lena feels! I'm not gonna lie during the story I started to feel a little disappointment because of something Lena feels in the story towards the end that I felt too- but in Lauren Oliver fashion she takes your breath away and shocks you!!

Now I'm even MORE excited to meet and talk to her next week!!

I can't wait for the 3rd one!! She left just as excited and crazy!!!

OH MY GOSH??????? AHHHHHHHHHHH???????????

Loved it so much!!

I enjoyed Pandemonium, but not as much as Delirium. I think it did a good job of showing Lena's state of mind and how it evolves, but I didn't love the alternating timelines and the prose was overblown at times. It did have some fun surprises, though they may have been overly telegraphed (at least for an adult reader.) I am still looking forward to reading the third book, especially because of how this one ended.

so I actually read this book within 2 working days, and I say that cuz I was literally at work sneaking reading in and saying to hell with my work...prob not the best idea, but more then worth it! this book was amazing. it was so fast paced and intriguing. I LOVE LOVE LOVED, the back and forth between "then" and "now" it helped to fill in all the blanks and def help keep the story from not becoming stale. but as for the story alone...WOW! how it picked up in page 1, amazing. how it ended...speechless!!!
there were times while reading the book were I was emotionally either up or down about certain situations that were taking place and although, this shows how much of a great writer L.O is it also shows me there will def be more/ new twist and turns and emotions in the continuation. which ill just say: I CAN NOT WAIT FOR! but until then...
thanks lauren for doing it yet again!!

(Contiene spoilers si no has leído Delirium).

Tardé más de 4 días en poder ponerme a escribir esta reseña. Y es que, para quienes ya conocemos la forma de escribir de Lauren, sabemos que aunque el libro empiece un poco lento, la trama va creciendo en un constante crescendo hasta traernos un final inesperado. No, no les voy a decir el final XD

Definitivamente alcanzó las expectativas que me había formado sobre este libro. Después de leer la historia de Lena en Delirium, con ese enamoramiento de Alex (momento de llorar por Alex) y con su “muerte” al final de libro cuando ambos tratan de escapar a la Tierra Salvaje, no tenía ni idea de a qué lugar nos podría llevar Lauren Oliver en esta segunda entrega de su saga.

Y ni mi más remota idea se acercó a lo que me encontré en este libro.
Me encantó la disposición del entonces y el ahora. Esa forma de intercalar pasado y presente, dejándome picada al final de cada capítulo fue una forma diferente y mucho más emocionante de leer el libro. Como ya dije, para quienes hemos leído Delirium sabemos que Lauren empieza un poco lento y casi aburrido el libro, pero es a partir de la página 100 que empieza a tomar carrera la narración y entras en ese estado de “no puedo soltar el libro”.

¿Qué más puedo decir? Es una historia increíblemente nueva con respecto a Delirium, con nuevos personajes y nuevas vivencias para Lena.
Y el final, como en Delirium, es algo que aunque me lo imaginé, no me esperaba que terminara así. En definitiva un libro más que recomendable, una lectura entretenida y un mundo al que cuando entres, no podrás salir.

Oh my goodness! This is SOOOO much better than the first book! There is so much going on, its hard to put the book down. Love the way the story is told, in two parts. Very interesting and keeps your attention. Loved this book. Can't wait for the next one. Lauren Oliver delivered a superior sequel!

OK UM WAIT HOLD UP WHAT JUST HAPPENED THERE AT THE END

wow... i honestly thought that I would be more disappointed by this book because that’s how my recent experiences with dystopian trilogies have gone but this was so much better!!!

First off- the difference between now/then and the way Oliver just works it so cleverly into the story was so creative and made me understand the story so much better! It also made the character development crystal clear, so go off Lena hahahaha.

Honestly I want to give this a 4.5 stars because the ending made me want to shrivel up like a prune because oh my gosh oh my goshohmygoshohmgosh what the heck. 10 million things just happened all at once, and I hope that the third book will tie it together well enough...

Also wow the introduction of the new characters were slightly confusing in a sense but it also made sense for the end... but we shall see how the series ends!!

*SPOILERS DOWN HERE*
















AND AHHH ALEX WTH I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT BUT PLEASE NOOOOO THE LOVE TRIANGLE OMG LIKE IDK HOW TO FEEL ABOUT IT

DIOS MIOOOOOO!!!! POR QUEEEEEEE?????... No voy a mentir, me esperaba *Mas o menos* el final, pero WOW. Estoy en shock. Casi no dormí por leer este libro
