A review by sophie_hboff
Delirium, by Lauren Oliver
3.0
It started off so good.
There was an believable setting; there was beautiful characters; there was stunning metaphors embedded in every sentence. I wanted to find out what happened so badly.
Then... It just seemed to get... Dull.
Boring.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't read the book for more than 5 minutes before I got bored. I was not interested in what happened to Lena because, to tell the truth, the world was suddenly not so believable anymore. I kept on wondering... How did Alex fake his procedure and get away with it for so long? How were they able to get to the Wilds so easily? It was simply ludicrous and I lost interest at that point.
The ending however. Ugh, I almost screamed my head off. It was perfect, but it was so saddening...
I don't think I'm going to read the rest of this trilogy, but I'm still glad I read the first book because it was an interesting idea, and writing was beautiful. There were just some holes in the plot and it didn't flow in the middle towards the end.
