It’s not the quite the story that’s amazing but it’s the writing. I finally caved and had to see for myself what exactly everyone was talking about. It didn’t particularly appeal to me and the description never sounded that interesting. Drew's performance alone might get me to check out the rest of this trilogy.įor I while I’ve wondered about why so many people loved Delirium. She was able to channel all the different nuances of this full cast, and was especially chilling as Lena's already cured sister. Despite these criticisms, I did enjoy the book - and, more importantly, I loved Sarah Drew's performance. And while the pace picked up in the last hour or so, which was exciting, it also accelerated Lena's transition from a young, naive girl to a mature enemy of the government in a forced way. I was impressed with the concept - that love is a disease that everyone needs to be cured of - but found myself growing a bit impatient with our heroine, Lena, who took a little too long to put together that the government's restrictions were not in her best interest. While I didn't love the book as much as she does, I did find it entertaining. My colleague Emily recommended Delirium to me - it was one of her picks for the Best of 2011, and she raves about the book at every opportunity.
