mychaoticvoid 's review for:

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

3.0

---

The sequel to Delirium was fine in my opinion but it was a bit to cookiecutter for me. I found the idea of delirium to have a refreshing look on 'love'. This however did not continue on in the second book and it became a standard dystopian sequel. Not that I didn't enjoy it, it read fine and Lauren Oliver has a great writing style. But I would have loved some different plots, because in this book, after the first few chapters I already saw the ending coming which spoils the story. I was just waiting for the time. And I found that in Delirium the characters had a larger emotional range than in Pandomonium. Eventhough the characters were already 'build' I felt they needed more development to elevate the story to the next level.

Conclusion: the book was fine but don't expect fireworks! It has the beautiful writing style that you're used to from Lauren Oliver but it missed something...
