My Review: 
In a world where love is a disease, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Before sicientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn't understand that once love- the delira-blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now, and scientists are able to eradicate love when your infected. For seventeen year old Lena Holoway... She has always looked forward to the day when she'll be cured. A life without love, is a life without pain, be safe, measured, predictable and happiness. But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable, she falls in love. Along the way Lena discovers the truth behind the disease, and the meaning of love with a young boy name Alex. Because she wither be infected with love, then live a hundred years smothered by a lie....


My Thoughts:


-This book surprise me... Delirium had me laughing so hard that I cried, swoon by the love that Lena had with Alex and had me shock with the cliffhanger ending. And the plot was very interesting to read, a world where love is a desease.... Wow!


- I also enjoyed the characters in this book as well. Lena was at first shy, scared, and always did what she thought was right. Until she discovers the truth and met Alex. She quickly changes into a strong, brave character and opens up her eyes to realze what love means deep down in her heart. Lena's friend Hana was also a very brave character too.. She was also very kind toward Lina and was a true firend. I also enjoy how she was always there to lend a helping hand for Lana, even if she had to brake the rules to do so.... But most all, I enjoyed Lena and Alex's relationship with one another. It was so sweet toward the  begin and end....


-I enjoyed this book so much, with its laughable parts, sweet moments, twist and turns and the meaning of love.... And I'm very looking forward to read the second book Pandemonium next year....


-And I give this book 5/5 stars....
