A review by gracielleberry
Delirium by Lauren Oliver

3.0

Okay, I didn't know Delirium was about love. Honest. Which makes the situation highly ironic since I avoid these novels at all cost and without my knowledge, I just ran gobsmack into one.

So there I was, opening another dystopian novel right when I just finished Insurgent, and I thought I was in for another badass, action story with a sidekick of romance... so imagine my surprise when I finished the first chapter. I was so close to not continuing, but my curiosity got the better of me.

With its mixture of romance and teen angst, which I was never a fan of, in a dystopian setting, Delirium was actually a pleasant surprise. I admit it got overly sweet and mushy for my own taste at some points, okay at most points, but I managed to let the matter slide. I continued reading and just accepted it. I mean, how can things not be sweet and mushy in a novel like this one, eh? At least it was well-written and not just another teenage sob story about love and whatnot. So yeah, I actually liked the novel... not my favorite, but I liked it.
