book review [Delirium by Lauren Oliver]

 

Do you know what's weird? Like, not supper dupper weird, but, just plaine weird?

Coming by to explore your story's title is normal, and checking out what it means is completely the main idea of naming a story, right? So, due to my mind's wants and contents, I have searched pliable books (real books) since I'm one of the most avid readers there is in the world.

Completely and honestly, I haven't heard of this incredible book. Especially on the thought that it's entitled like my story, Delirium.

So here it is, my first book review!~ And I'm going to post some of them in here, at asianfanfics! :)

DELIRIUM by Lauren Oliver (synopsis by Goodreads)

Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't.

 

 

Review:

Probably one of the most cultivating reads I had read this year. One of my most well preserved book this year, and a story I'll forever love!

So basically, the story focuses on a society wherein they identified love as a disease and that it kills people thru emotional sickness like stress and bipolar disorders. The main character, Lena, is getting cured in exactly ninety-five days, like all sixteen years olds, and she's going to get matched to a person qualified for her. The story will be forever loved and shared because of the way the author describes the society.

And then, obviously but still surprising, Lena gets involved on a relationship which she never knew she'll believe in until her death. The story involves a world so strict that love became the scariest piece of sickness there is in the whole world, and getting in love will cause your immediate death! The story is so surreal that it comes a point that it totally makes sense and that the possibility of the world being like this can truely happen. That's what dystopian books are; they talk about futuristic chaos that may, hopefully not, can happen in the nearest and possible future.

Totally worth the read, won't cause you a penny, so just read it! You can finish this in one or two sittings like what happened to me. Five stars!!!
