Delirium Series
Delirium - Lauren Oliver
Pandemonium - 03/06/12
In this series, love (amor deliria nervosa) is viewed as a
disease and people get a treatment when they turn 18 to get cured. Lena is close to her 18th birthday
and she is looking forward to her treatment.
She is taking a test at the treatment center when someone lets loose
some cows with names on them. She sees
a boy but doesn’t quite make out his face.
Later she meets a boy named Alex who has been “cured” since he has the
scars on the back of his neck. It is
okay in society for uncured to hang out with cured opposite sex so she starts
hanging out with him. He is actually
not cured but is posing as such. He
does not believe in curing love and he shows Lena why the world needs it. They go dancing together (something not
allowed and done in secret) and they fall in love. She remembers her childhood with her mother and them covering up
the windows and dancing. She realizes
that something did not go right with her mother’s procedure and she was never
cured.
All those that are not cured through the procedure are sent
to a center and locked up. She finds
out her mother might still be alive and she might be there. Her and Alex sneak in and find her cell but
she is no longer there.
Alex convinces Lena to run away to the wild with him where
there are others that are not cured living and being happy. In the end she decides to run away with
him. Police chases them down and she
makes it out of the gate but Alex does not.
So in the next book we will find out what happens to
Alex. Lena said she would come back to
him but will he be cured?
