Reviews

Love makes the world go round right? Not in Lena Haloway s world it doesn t...a rad Dolly Read! - Dolly on DELIRIUM Powerful...a stunning tale of a star crossed romance. - Good Reading on DELIRIUM Like Twilight, it s strangely compelling and uplifting. - InStyle on DELIRIUM Delightfully easy to read, fabulously realised with depth and understanding, the characters run across the pages like pixies no wonder it has already been optioned for a movie - mX on DELIRIUM With a powerful love affair at its heart, Oliver's narrative pulls the reader along in anticipation of the fate of the doomed lovers. Contrasting the extremes of existence, Delirium is driven by an apprehension of how terrible love may be but also out of its potential to conquer all. - The West Australian on DELIRIUM It's a good young adult novel, full of poetic description and passion, raising issues such as corrupted power, conformity, friendship and what constitutes a full human being. - The Daily Telegraph on DELIRIUM Lauren Oliver is an up-and-coming US author who nails both great ideas and great writing...pick this one up and it s hard to put down. - The Sunday Mail on DELIRIUM Delirium has plenty to satisfy its target young-adult audience: a coming-of-age narrative, universal experience of first love and a focus on the value of true friendship.

Gr 9 Up-Following directly on the heels of Delirium (HarperCollins, 2011), Pandemonium is equally riveting. It shifts back and forth between "then," as readers discover how Lena adapts to her life in the Wilds even as she grieves for Alex, and "now" where she is infiltrating the DFA, an organization committed to offering the "cure" to all citizens regardless of their age in spite of the known risks to anyone under the age of 18. She begins to have feelings for Julian, the son of the leader of the DFA, when they are incarcerated together following a mass demonstration. They discover they have more in common than they could have imagined despite their initial mutual antipathy and distrust. Oliver's descriptions of life in the unregulated Wilds with its deprivations and dangers are powerful and vivid. The characters are fully realized and heartbreakingly human. The underlying theme that love will win out regardless of prohibition is a powerful idea that will speak to teens. Readers who gravitate toward dystopian literature with high-stakes action and flawed humans who are willing to risk all for their ideals will enjoy this novel and eagerly await the next one in the trilogy.-Jane Henriksen Baird, Anchorage Public Library, AK (c) Copyright 2012.
