A medium enjoyable read that follows the same cookie cutter plot of dated YA dystopias. I predict Alex has returned and will be shelved as the bitter, jaded ex while Lena inevitably chooses Julian as her new beau. 

This book was great! A ton of action. I didn't want to put this one down. I normally have a theory about the second book in a series how it is setting it up for the third book. While there was some set-up for the next book, and I can't wait for it to be released, this was a great story. Lena wasn't quite as whiny as she was in the first book and I liked the twists and turns of this book. I actually might want to read this one again since I think I will pick up on certain things that I didn't get the first time around. I would recommend this one to anyone.

I liked this so much more than the first one.

I am going to say I did not like this book more than Delirium. But I still enjoyed it enough to finish it.

The main male character in the book was a wimp. He bugged me. The girl character who was a wimp in the first book is now taking the spot of the hero somewhat and now having to protect someone who was just like her. I couldn't get into it as much as I wanted too. I thought it dragged on and on in a bad way. But I am going to say I guessed the ending about half way through and I still squealed with excitement when it was over. Maybe the third book will triumph over the first two.

Pandemonium is amazing! It was even better than Delirium, I think! I wasn't sure where she was going to go with it, because of the way Delirium ends... The back and forth in Pandemonium of going between the "now" and "then" can be a bit confusing but it's an interesting way to merge what happened right after Delirium and a point about 6 months in the future. All in all, I tore through the book and then was amazed by the end. Fantastic book!!

I do not want to wait for book three.

At first I wasn't crazy about the then and now chapters but once I got used to the new layout I enjoyed seeing how Lena grew and changed in this part of her story.

Parts were predictable but I'm not complaining since it went how I wanted it to!!

Very anxious to read book three to find out what happens.
