• Week 40: Delirium

  Is it just me or all the popular YA books these days dystopian novels?

  I knew the basic premise of Delirium from the recommendations I received, but was still thrilled while reading it. It sort of reminds me of The Giver in a way, but with more of a romantic bent. And less…foreign, I guess.

  I expected a betrayal by Hana but she surprised me. (I don’t know if that counts as a spoiler but…yeah, she doesn’t betray Lena. Sorry for giving that away. =P)
  The ending surprised me as well. I know there are books following this one so it makes me wonder how the story will continue. But it doesn’t make me feel like I must must must read the next book right this minute.

  I felt like that with Angelfall too. A good stand-alone first book – leaves room for more but doesn’t feel incomplete on its own.
