Delirium by Lauren Oliver Review
Delirium is a powerful dystopia novel about love, questioning the rules of society and self discovery. This novel is a beautifully written story about a future society where love is considered a disease. On a citizen's eighteenth birthday they undergo the procedure, curing them of the amor deliria nervosa (love) Lena never questions the society she lives in and looks forward to being cured. Until she starts to fall in love. The story is gripping, the society fascinating and the ending will leave you wondering... what now? I give this book 4/5 stars. It was a very good book. Delirium is now available in hardcover in bookstores in the US and online and is also available on Amazon Kindle.
I really enjoyed reading your review! You captured the haunting premise of Delirium so well—especially how the society’s control over emotions mirrors the way real-world systems sometimes try to sterilize individuality. Lena’s internal conflict was incredibly relatable. I also appreciated how the book made me think about what we define as true happiness and love—just like how beauty alternatives</a challenge our perception of what’s “normal” or acceptable. Delirium is definitely a powerful reminder to question conformity in all forms.
