Delirium by Lauren Oliver
3.0
3.5 Stars really.
The first half of the book was really confusing and very, very slow. However it got better after Lena slowly understood how wrong her world, and everything she thought she knew was. I thought the progress of her realizing this was beautiful and very well done!
AT first I didn't really like Lena. While I understood how she wanted the procedure, she seemed kinda off to me at first. Unbalanced. Maybe it was suppossed to be this way. After Alex came into her life she seemed more sure and I began liking her then. As for Hana...I actually can't really stand her. I thought it was weird what she said at their evaluation and I was a firm believer that there was more than just her going to forbidding parties. Maybe there will be. We'll see. At first I didn't like Alex as well but now I totally love. He seems really lovely.
Gracie kept me confused. I thought first that she was Lena's sister, then her cousin, but Williams granddaughter? Either I hadn't paid enough attention or there was some mistake in the book.
As for the world. I haven't quite worked out what is fence din and what not? Is it only Portland? If so, what is the rest of the world. If it's not just Portland, how big are the Wilds? Is it like Disctrict 13 that just got wiped out and forgotten? I hope to see this explained further in the next book.
Also the rules are really confusing because you have people who are infected, who only get cured and they are okay and you've got people, sympathizers, who get put in the Crypts immediatly? Like what is the actual law on this? I don't understand what is worse and how this whole system works to be honest.
Anyway As I was halfway through I didn't think to continue the series but the last 200 or so pages kept me on the edge and now I am intrigued on how it will continue, thus 3.5 stars.
