hobbes4626 's review for:

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
5.0

Is there any way to get hold of the author and get the third book early? How am I going to wait! I read this book in a matter of three days. I just could not put it down! I loved the action and the drama. There definitely was more action in Pandemonium then there was in Delirium. I enjoyed the characters a great deal. I do however agree with other reviewers on how weak and whiney Lena is, throughout the first novel and second. I didn't notice it until I read the reviews. As I was finishing up the second book, I realized how lacking in self confidence Lena is, not exactly a heroine's characteristics. She does prevail though! I feel that it somehow makes her more realistic. We do not carry heroic characteristics 24/7, in every area of our lives.
Throughout Delirium, I enjoyed Lena being with Alex. He seemed like a "bad boy," who broke all the rules. Julian? Hum.... I picture him as a rich, good boy who has just broken a rule for the first time, although that is not the case. I wish there was more involved with their romances. On the other hand, it must be a big deal just to caress someone in a world without being able to show any type of attachment emotion what so ever. Maybe in the next book it will get deeper in the romance aspect with in the revolution. Hummmm...........
The ending was predictable. I just knew how it was going to end. It was just suppose to end that way! Maybe I wanted it to end that way! Now the waiting.. Any way to get an advanced copy????
Loved the ride!! I would definitely recommend this series. Good dystopian novel (A dystopia is a society in a repressive and controlled state, often under the guise of being utopian) filled with likable characters, drama and action.
