Delirium

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. 

Delirium. By Lauren Oliver.
This book was absolutely beautiful. It shows the dangers, wonders, and pain of true love. I have seen this book compared to 1984 by George Orwell and other dystopian novels, but the focus of this book is not the dystopian government or world, it is, to me, supposed to show that love cannot be stopped by cruel governments or people that have total faith in the cruel governments. This is one of my favorite reads so far this year and I hope that many people choose to read it. It has a fairly slow start but once the chain of events began I couldn't read it fast enough. I loved the ending and I felt that there is a possibility for another book.

Oh, and one more little tidbit, I put a note in one of the copies at my local library so some people here might actually know me... heh. That will be interesting. Anyway, have you read Delirium? Are you planning to read it? Did you stop reading it b/c of the slow start? Has my review convinced you to give it a try? I know I am asking a lot of questions, but I want to know what you think of the books and my reviews.

hope to hear from you,

P.S. "I love you. Remember. They cannot take it."

P.P.S. A post that might come up soon might feature some playing with food.

P.P.P.S. Read the book. It's good. Really good.
