Delirium by Lauren Oliver

I recently did a book report on Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Usually, it takes me weeks to finish a book. A teenagers life is hectic, a lot of things to do in not a lot of time. However, I can honestly say this book had me hooked after the first 10 pages. Lauren Oliver keeps you guessing ever step of the way with gut wrenching suspense.

If your anything like me, you’ve probably become bored with the books talking about a teenaged girl falling for a guy and then they break up and get back together and blah blah. This story puts a whole new twist on teenaged love.

Where Lena lives it is “illegal” to fall in love. The goverment has taken control of “love” and labelled it as a disease. The goverment has confined a community by surrounding it with fences and when the residents reach the age of 18 they are evaluaded and paired with a match. The pairs get a “cure” that will protect them from the disease. After Lena is exposed to a few of the goverments secrets she finds out that everything the goverment has told them has been a lie.

If you are looking for a quick, easy read you should definitely pick up Delirium.
