About this listen
Until now.
Now everything has changed. Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years suffocated by a lie.
There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it.
Then, at last, they found the cure.
(P)2012 HarperCollins Audio©2011 Lauren Oliver
Critic Reviews
Lauren Oliver is the rising star of young adult fiction... [DELIRIUM] deftly conjures up a recognisably dystopian parallel to our own world, as convincingly terrifying as the North America of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.
Prepare to pull a sickie and be rooted to your chair with one of the most addictive books we've come across in ages . . . A recklessly romantic, smart, poignant and tense read from one of the most exciting writers around . . . Clever, moving and incredibly addictive.
An original and fast-moving read from a very talented writer.
'Amazing, unputdownable!'
The transformation of Lena's character from start to finish is amazing, and Oliver's words really tug at your heartstrings. Highly recommended.
A dystopian Romeo and Juliet story that deserves to be as massive as Twilight.
A beautifully written and wonderfully addictive book that fans of Margaret Atwood will devour.
Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall was one of Bella's favourite books of last year and this follow-up doesn't disappoint.
Hugely compelling and addictive, this has massive commercial potential.
This has to be one of the most original fiction concepts for a long time... Brilliantly constructed... will leave you with your heart in your mouth... It will stir up the emotions that remind you why you bother with love at all.
'A dystopian Romeo and Juliet . . . Lauren Oliver's futuristic vision, set in an alternate but recognisable America, is chillingly realised.'
The setting for this clever, imaginative novel is a society in which love is treated as a disease... With a pacy, absorbing plot and a cast of engaging characters to revel in, Delirium also raises all manner of talking points: relationships, the role of the family, state intervention, friendship, loyalty, individual freedom. The movie must surely be just around the corner.
'Finished reading Lauren Oliver's book Delirium. A beautiful read. Can't stop thinking about it.'
For proper, spellbinding immersion pick up a copy of Delirium.
This thought-provoking novel, the first in a new trilogy, will have you gripped from start to finish. But be warned: the cliffhanger will leave you desperate for the next instalment.
'Part The Handmaid's Tale, part Twilight, we're addicted.'
standard dystopian but great narration
