![]() ![]() The freaky, Nazi-reminiscent way the people rallied, brainwashed, behind false ideals made the society seem a lot more realistic than it was in Delirium.

Lauren Oliver is a talented writer with a lyrical, beautiful style of writing but the story development is simply too draggy. more to pandemonium and possibly requiem too. ![]() Review 2: I felt so bad when I had to skim through delirium and now I've got to do the same. I have heard the final book has an open ending, glad I'm prepared for that before I jump in. Otherwise, Lauren Oliver writes an incredibly thrilling and action packed story with interesting characters. I wonder if it played off better in the paper book than it did in audio format? It's a shame that in a series where the characters are fighting for the right to experience love (in a dystopian future where love is a sickness that is forcibly "cured" at age 18) the romances are the weakest elements of the series. Review 1: I'm knocking a star off of the second book's review because one element of the storyline was just so terrible it was distracting from an otherwise excellent story.
