Overview
hey have tried to squeeze us out, to stamp us into the past.
But we are still here.
And there are more of us every day.
Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent
rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out
revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.
After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds.
But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened
throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of
Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as
Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a
safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor.
Maybe we are driven crazy by our feelings.
Maybe love is a disease, and we would be better off without it.
But we have chosen a different road.
And in the end, that is the point of escaping the cure: We are free to choose.
We are even free to choose the wrong thing.
Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side
by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.
Reviews
I must say, this is probably my least favorite out of the three books.
It's not horrible (Obviously, since I gave it five stars) but it took forever for the
pace to pick up, for it to get interesting.
This book is mostly about the Resistance fighting back (HOORAH!!) but they can't
just barge in and fight! They must plan first! Making most of the novel planing, not
fighting.
And we all now that planing is that as fun as fighting...
Of course it's not all planning!
Since, very much like the last book, this book has alternating chapters.
Except this time it's alternating between Lena and Hana.
While I liked hearing about what's going on in Hana's life, it made the pace of the
book slower. Not much is going on in Hana's life (actually, a lot is happening but
nothing that seems to entertain me...)
Now that I got all of that out of the way, let me talk about what is of most
importance...
THE ENDING
We are all aware that this is the last book.
And being the last book, it needs to have a good ending.
While the ending did leave a few questions unanswered
But I did like how it ended.
It brought a sense that things are going to get better.
(forgive me for being cliche but...)To me this is the best kind of ending.
And while I am sad to see this series go...
I will be very unhappy if this series continues, since I know when a book series
needs to end (Cassandra Clare doesn't though. Sorry, had to get it out there) and
after that ending, I know it is time for me to let this series go.
Until the TV show premieres...
Hopefully they won't ruin it...
The last book of a beloved series is always hard to review. Been thinking about
this book for weeks now and I absolutely loved this series. I thought the concept
of love being a disease and needing a cure was so unique and really thought
provoking throughout. It not only showed the affects of possibly curing heartbreak
from a boyfriend or husband but how someone would feel with love taken
completely away. With the cure people no longer loved their kids, their family,
their friends, even their dogs or their love of running. To not love took so much
more from them than just saving them from heartbreak. It also explored that to
feel something amazing means at times you have to feel something awful. Takes
risks and pain for rewards. Sometimes you might want to give up and get the
cure. I thought Hana's POV in this book was really important because we got to
see the perspective of someone cured. How she felt numb but still thought of
Lena. How she felt wrong about her match and decided to research into him and
find out how truly evil he was. How she missed running but then couldn't really
find the love for it anymore. But she was stuck with no real choices. The cure took
away her right to choose.
Then on the other side we have Lena with the group of rebels that have the
freedom of choice but it still doesn't mean they use it. They have the right to
choose to do nothing. To not fight for that right. They can not live free unless they
fight for it so a large part of her POV is getting plans together to fight back. Sadly
not as much is resolved with Alex and Julian as I hoped. Alex is hurt and rightfully
so. Lena didn't know he was still alive but I can only imagine how much it would
hurt to rot away in prison thinking of your loved one to only get out and see they
moved on. A bible story was used as a metaphor for sacrifice and if you should let
someone you love go or stay and cause them pain. Mostly I was mad that Lena
and Alex never really talked and resolved anything. She ran back to Julian which I
thought wasn't fair to him. He is a good guy even if I did want Lena to dump him
for Alex. I at least wanted her to be honest. I think Julian was new to love and
maybe pushed her feelings away hoping she could just forget about Alex.
The ending. I definitely wanted more. Lena makes her feelings clear but we don't
really know what happens. It is very open but it does end on a hopeful note. But
for a series with so many huge cliffhangers I wanted more closure. It was fitting
and I enjoyed the ride all the way till the end. I still think this series is amazing
with beautiful writing and an excellent concept. I knew the ending before I started
reading so I was a bit prepared.
In Delirium love is found.
In Pandemonium love is lost, and found again.
In Requiem we see the depth of the world Lauren Oliver created. This: a love song
that sometimes is nothing more than a whisper of what you think it should be until
you realize the entire time you’ve been listening to love screaming at you so loud
it was only pretending to be quiet. We see love between friends, between
strangers. Between people who think they are in love but aren’t. Between lovers
and parents. Different kinds of loves layer Requiem, so deeply woven together the
pieces are sometimes difficult to spot. As it is for so many of Oliver’s characters,
sometimes we don’t even see what love is until it’s too late.
But it’s there. Waiting for the walls to fall, love is there.
This trilogy has always been about love. In Delirium Lena finds love. In
Pandemonium she finds it again, though a different love is lost. In Requiem she
resists. Oliver creates a quiet kind of war built on the platform of a louder one -
love upon hate, cured upon uncured. She takes the political and very real aspect
of a resistance and layers on love until we are left with a war between those who
love and those who don’t. Though we get tastes of loudness in Pandemonium and
Requiem, Oliver’s is a quiet kind of war where the casualties number even more -
because they forget. They love and leave and are gone. And underneath this war
Oliver has created between the loveless and the lovers, there is this: Lena and
Alex and Julian. First loves, second loves, all tied together as one because love is
rarely a simple thing. It’s never so black and white as we make it. And this trilogy
focuses on that, how love is not made up of firsts or seconds or even thirds, but
just is.
Love stirs jealousy, envy. Happiness and faith and greatness. Love seems
unstoppable, and yet it stops from time to time just to breathe, to change. To
mold into something different than what it was. And then it’s back to this: Love is
a force of nature, and in this trilogy it is a character just as real as Lena or Alex.
Perhaps even more real.
Still, we must remember that this is Lena’s story. It is about war, but a different
kind of fight. At times, like in Pandemonium, we get the feeling that circumstances
and other characters are much bigger than they seem, that we are only seeing a
tiny picture in this harsh world of forbidden love. But really, isn’t that the point?
This is Lena’s story. Her loves, her hates. Her eyes seeing her world. And although
we hear Hana’s voice in the end, it still comes down to this: Lena and the loves
she has and doesn’t. Her love for Hana and Julian. Her mother. Alex.
Her beginning. Her end.
But maybe the beginning isn’t a place where things just start, but a place where
things end and begin again differently than before. Like time, love is deprived of
boundaries and borders. It is endless in so many ways. Oliver knows this. She
writes this. Which is why Delirium begins in Portland and Requiem ends in
Portland.
“Direction, like time, is a general thing, deprived of boundaries and borders. It is
an endless process of interpretation and reinterpretation, doubling back and
adjusting.”-Requiem
Some things never change, some always do. Some even change like whispers on
the wind so they’re different without even meaning to be. That whisper is what
moves the Delirium trilogy along.
Requiem is the breath-taking and highly anticipated conclusion to the Delirium
trilogy. We venture one last time into a world where love is a disease and
something to be avoided. We also meet new characters, but lose old ones, too.
Readers will not be expecting the twists and shocking truths that Requiem
contains. Hold on to your seat, grip Requiem tight, and prepare yourself to be
whisked away by Lauren Oliver's flawless writing.
Lena is in the Wilds where she is free to love and free to make her own choices.
But her heart was torn when Alex reappeared and complicated her relationship
with Julian. Now she does not know how to feel or what to do. One thing she is
sure of is that Alex hates her. He can't bear the sight of her or stay anywhere near
her; he's not the Alex she once knew. Then again, she isn't the same Lena that
first ran into the Wilds. She is stronger; physically and mentally. She is ready to
fight. And no one will make her lose sight of that.
I fell in love with the characters, the plot, and Oliver's writing style from the
moment I started reading Delirium. Lena and Alex grew on me from the
beginning, and now in the final book, it pains me to let them go. I've watched
them grow from being shy, innocent and completely oblivious to the world, into
two really strong and daring people who are willing to stand for what they believe
in.
Of course, like everyone else, I wanted this book in my hands as soon as possible
after the big bombshell that was dropped at the end of Pandemonium, but I was
also desperate to find out how Lena would get around two boys: one that she's
loved since the beginning, and the one that she thought she was slowly falling for.
I know some of you guys out there really despise love-triangles, but Oliver
manages to make it bearable and extremely interesting. Not to mention the fact
that she wraps it up very well.
Alex or Julian? That is the ultimate question. Though it's not as simple as, "Lena,
just go back to Alex, you love him, right?" It's not simple because Alex is not the
same. Nope, he's not the smiley, happy Alex anymore. At first I found this
absolutely heart-breaking because Alex is one of my most favourite characters
ever, and for his personality to change completely was just devastating. He
doesn't smile, he gives short answers and he can barely look at Lena. And you
know what makes things worse? A girl shows up and shows an interest in Alex! I
wanted to kill her and I'm sure you will, too.
Enough of death threats. Lauren Oliver delivers a satisfying ending that might not
be enough for most readers, like me, who wanted the perfect: Lena ends up with
*insert boy of choice* and they ride of into the sunset and don't look back and
they live happily ever after with their 12 children. Nope, not that type of ending.
The ending leaves you thinking of what is to come, but also gives time for you to
go over your whole journey with the characters before breaking down in tears
realising that there isn't going to be another book.
Overall, Requiem was perfect. How could I say anything other than that? It had
the action to keep us hooked, drops of humor to keep us smiling, and the romance
to keep us guessing. Not only that, but we also get a glimpse into Hana's head
because the book alternates between her POV and Lena's. Pretty awesome, I
know. It also contains some extraordinary secrets that will probably just shock you
off your chair. Yep, that good.
The Delirium trilogy has been a wonderful roller coaster full of emotion and I have
thoroughly enjoyed reading the books and the journey it has taken me on. I hope
that Lauren Oliver carries on writing unique and beautiful sets of books because I
am craving to read about another original and crazy world (with more boys like
Alex, of course)
Right now I am just crying my eyes out, I think the ending was perfect. In a way it
was also very cruel, I wish there was more. There are so so many questions
unanswered but in the end I guess that is okay because those last sentences of
the book still gave me more than I ever could have imagined. This book has a
clear message and even if the true story and the writing may be a little slow at
times it still gets a hold of you and I think I will never really let this book go. It
has become a such huge part of me now, all these thing it has taught me. Just
incredible, I am speechless. The reason I will never forget this book is probably
not because of the romance or these basic things you usually love about these
kind of things. It is the way the characters evolved, changed and in a way they
were never perfect but they did their best. You could learn so much for them. I do
not know what to say to even describe the feeling. Just wow.
HEART. SHATTERING.
Merged review:
To read this review on my blog, click here.
WARNING: If you have not read the first two books in this trilogy, Delirium and
Pandemonium, there WILL be spoilers in this review for those books.
Now, on with the review.
Oh, how it hurts me to know that this is the final installment of the Delirium
series.
But what goes up what must come down, just as what begins must end. Even if
it's beautiful.
Delirium holds the mark of a truly good book, in that it connects with you. It
connects with every piece of you, and you feel like you're there. Like you're a part
of it. Like you're in love. Like you're hurt. Like you're scared. I still strongly think
that Alex is my first love. Because he is. This story became a part of me, a part of
my emotions. It is by no means an average book.
Delirium, Pandemonium, and Requiem flow seamlessly. They are set in a futuristic
America where love is considered to be a disease known as the Deliria. There is a
cure administered to all citizens above the age of 18 that eradicates love from the
recipient's mind. There are boundaries, curfews, laws, and walls in this America.
Things to keep people safe. To keep them from the Deliria.
Lena Haloway is the main character in this series. She is an average, rule-
following girl. And then she catches the Deliria. And everything changes. She falls
in love, and these books are her story.
Delirium.
Book 1.
This is the beginning. The easy, beautiful, painless beginning. It eases you into the
series. Sweeps you off your feet. Makes you fall in love. It draws you in.
Pandemonium.
Book 2.
This book begins with hurt, pain, and a bitterness that almost creeps into yourself.
But it begins to build you back up. You begin to love the characters again, even if
you thought you never would, after Delirium. Slowly, but surely, you fall in love
with the characters all over again.
Requiem.
Book 3.
The heartbreak that this book begins with is nearly unbearable. The most awful,
terrifying choice lies before Lena, and it breaks your own heart nearly as much as
it is breaking hers. It makes it unbearable to put the book down. You are left
reading for hours on end, dying to know what happens in the end, yet still willing
the book to last forever because you don't want the story to stop.
Requiem is beautiful. Not merely for the fact that people chose to love even when
love seemed so impossible, but also for the fact that people chose to stand up.
They didn't let corrupt leaders control them. They stood up for what they believed
in.
Even though this book seems to be focused on love, it's really about so much
more than that. It's focused on everything that's worth fighting for. The Delirium
series, and especially Requiem, shouts a message to the world. It screams that
there cannot be freedom without responsibility, there isn't health without pain,
and there can never be love without choice. If you're going to fight for something,
make it something worthwhile. Something you believe in. Something good. And
give it all you have.
Favorite quote from the book:
"This is what amazes me: that people are new every day. That they are never the
same. You must always invent them, and they must always invent themselves,
too."

Requiem (delirium) kindle download

  • 1. Requiem (Delirium) kindle download To download now please click the link below. http://amzn.to/12FWnUI Overview hey have tried to squeeze us out, to stamp us into the past. But we are still here. And there are more of us every day.
  • 2. Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight. After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Maybe we are driven crazy by our feelings. Maybe love is a disease, and we would be better off without it. But we have chosen a different road. And in the end, that is the point of escaping the cure: We are free to choose. We are even free to choose the wrong thing. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge. Reviews I must say, this is probably my least favorite out of the three books. It's not horrible (Obviously, since I gave it five stars) but it took forever for the pace to pick up, for it to get interesting.
  • 3. This book is mostly about the Resistance fighting back (HOORAH!!) but they can't just barge in and fight! They must plan first! Making most of the novel planing, not fighting. And we all now that planing is that as fun as fighting... Of course it's not all planning! Since, very much like the last book, this book has alternating chapters. Except this time it's alternating between Lena and Hana. While I liked hearing about what's going on in Hana's life, it made the pace of the book slower. Not much is going on in Hana's life (actually, a lot is happening but nothing that seems to entertain me...) Now that I got all of that out of the way, let me talk about what is of most importance... THE ENDING We are all aware that this is the last book. And being the last book, it needs to have a good ending. While the ending did leave a few questions unanswered But I did like how it ended. It brought a sense that things are going to get better. (forgive me for being cliche but...)To me this is the best kind of ending. And while I am sad to see this series go... I will be very unhappy if this series continues, since I know when a book series needs to end (Cassandra Clare doesn't though. Sorry, had to get it out there) and after that ending, I know it is time for me to let this series go.
  • 4. Until the TV show premieres... Hopefully they won't ruin it... The last book of a beloved series is always hard to review. Been thinking about this book for weeks now and I absolutely loved this series. I thought the concept of love being a disease and needing a cure was so unique and really thought provoking throughout. It not only showed the affects of possibly curing heartbreak from a boyfriend or husband but how someone would feel with love taken completely away. With the cure people no longer loved their kids, their family, their friends, even their dogs or their love of running. To not love took so much more from them than just saving them from heartbreak. It also explored that to feel something amazing means at times you have to feel something awful. Takes risks and pain for rewards. Sometimes you might want to give up and get the cure. I thought Hana's POV in this book was really important because we got to see the perspective of someone cured. How she felt numb but still thought of Lena. How she felt wrong about her match and decided to research into him and find out how truly evil he was. How she missed running but then couldn't really find the love for it anymore. But she was stuck with no real choices. The cure took away her right to choose. Then on the other side we have Lena with the group of rebels that have the freedom of choice but it still doesn't mean they use it. They have the right to choose to do nothing. To not fight for that right. They can not live free unless they fight for it so a large part of her POV is getting plans together to fight back. Sadly not as much is resolved with Alex and Julian as I hoped. Alex is hurt and rightfully so. Lena didn't know he was still alive but I can only imagine how much it would hurt to rot away in prison thinking of your loved one to only get out and see they moved on. A bible story was used as a metaphor for sacrifice and if you should let someone you love go or stay and cause them pain. Mostly I was mad that Lena and Alex never really talked and resolved anything. She ran back to Julian which I thought wasn't fair to him. He is a good guy even if I did want Lena to dump him for Alex. I at least wanted her to be honest. I think Julian was new to love and maybe pushed her feelings away hoping she could just forget about Alex. The ending. I definitely wanted more. Lena makes her feelings clear but we don't really know what happens. It is very open but it does end on a hopeful note. But for a series with so many huge cliffhangers I wanted more closure. It was fitting and I enjoyed the ride all the way till the end. I still think this series is amazing
  • 5. with beautiful writing and an excellent concept. I knew the ending before I started reading so I was a bit prepared. In Delirium love is found. In Pandemonium love is lost, and found again. In Requiem we see the depth of the world Lauren Oliver created. This: a love song that sometimes is nothing more than a whisper of what you think it should be until you realize the entire time you’ve been listening to love screaming at you so loud it was only pretending to be quiet. We see love between friends, between strangers. Between people who think they are in love but aren’t. Between lovers and parents. Different kinds of loves layer Requiem, so deeply woven together the pieces are sometimes difficult to spot. As it is for so many of Oliver’s characters, sometimes we don’t even see what love is until it’s too late. But it’s there. Waiting for the walls to fall, love is there. This trilogy has always been about love. In Delirium Lena finds love. In Pandemonium she finds it again, though a different love is lost. In Requiem she resists. Oliver creates a quiet kind of war built on the platform of a louder one - love upon hate, cured upon uncured. She takes the political and very real aspect of a resistance and layers on love until we are left with a war between those who love and those who don’t. Though we get tastes of loudness in Pandemonium and Requiem, Oliver’s is a quiet kind of war where the casualties number even more - because they forget. They love and leave and are gone. And underneath this war Oliver has created between the loveless and the lovers, there is this: Lena and Alex and Julian. First loves, second loves, all tied together as one because love is rarely a simple thing. It’s never so black and white as we make it. And this trilogy focuses on that, how love is not made up of firsts or seconds or even thirds, but just is. Love stirs jealousy, envy. Happiness and faith and greatness. Love seems unstoppable, and yet it stops from time to time just to breathe, to change. To mold into something different than what it was. And then it’s back to this: Love is
  • 6. a force of nature, and in this trilogy it is a character just as real as Lena or Alex. Perhaps even more real. Still, we must remember that this is Lena’s story. It is about war, but a different kind of fight. At times, like in Pandemonium, we get the feeling that circumstances and other characters are much bigger than they seem, that we are only seeing a tiny picture in this harsh world of forbidden love. But really, isn’t that the point? This is Lena’s story. Her loves, her hates. Her eyes seeing her world. And although we hear Hana’s voice in the end, it still comes down to this: Lena and the loves she has and doesn’t. Her love for Hana and Julian. Her mother. Alex. Her beginning. Her end. But maybe the beginning isn’t a place where things just start, but a place where things end and begin again differently than before. Like time, love is deprived of boundaries and borders. It is endless in so many ways. Oliver knows this. She writes this. Which is why Delirium begins in Portland and Requiem ends in Portland. “Direction, like time, is a general thing, deprived of boundaries and borders. It is an endless process of interpretation and reinterpretation, doubling back and adjusting.”-Requiem Some things never change, some always do. Some even change like whispers on the wind so they’re different without even meaning to be. That whisper is what moves the Delirium trilogy along. Requiem is the breath-taking and highly anticipated conclusion to the Delirium trilogy. We venture one last time into a world where love is a disease and something to be avoided. We also meet new characters, but lose old ones, too. Readers will not be expecting the twists and shocking truths that Requiem contains. Hold on to your seat, grip Requiem tight, and prepare yourself to be whisked away by Lauren Oliver's flawless writing.
  • 7. Lena is in the Wilds where she is free to love and free to make her own choices. But her heart was torn when Alex reappeared and complicated her relationship with Julian. Now she does not know how to feel or what to do. One thing she is sure of is that Alex hates her. He can't bear the sight of her or stay anywhere near her; he's not the Alex she once knew. Then again, she isn't the same Lena that first ran into the Wilds. She is stronger; physically and mentally. She is ready to fight. And no one will make her lose sight of that. I fell in love with the characters, the plot, and Oliver's writing style from the moment I started reading Delirium. Lena and Alex grew on me from the beginning, and now in the final book, it pains me to let them go. I've watched them grow from being shy, innocent and completely oblivious to the world, into two really strong and daring people who are willing to stand for what they believe in. Of course, like everyone else, I wanted this book in my hands as soon as possible after the big bombshell that was dropped at the end of Pandemonium, but I was also desperate to find out how Lena would get around two boys: one that she's loved since the beginning, and the one that she thought she was slowly falling for. I know some of you guys out there really despise love-triangles, but Oliver manages to make it bearable and extremely interesting. Not to mention the fact that she wraps it up very well. Alex or Julian? That is the ultimate question. Though it's not as simple as, "Lena, just go back to Alex, you love him, right?" It's not simple because Alex is not the same. Nope, he's not the smiley, happy Alex anymore. At first I found this absolutely heart-breaking because Alex is one of my most favourite characters ever, and for his personality to change completely was just devastating. He doesn't smile, he gives short answers and he can barely look at Lena. And you know what makes things worse? A girl shows up and shows an interest in Alex! I wanted to kill her and I'm sure you will, too. Enough of death threats. Lauren Oliver delivers a satisfying ending that might not be enough for most readers, like me, who wanted the perfect: Lena ends up with *insert boy of choice* and they ride of into the sunset and don't look back and
  • 8. they live happily ever after with their 12 children. Nope, not that type of ending. The ending leaves you thinking of what is to come, but also gives time for you to go over your whole journey with the characters before breaking down in tears realising that there isn't going to be another book. Overall, Requiem was perfect. How could I say anything other than that? It had the action to keep us hooked, drops of humor to keep us smiling, and the romance to keep us guessing. Not only that, but we also get a glimpse into Hana's head because the book alternates between her POV and Lena's. Pretty awesome, I know. It also contains some extraordinary secrets that will probably just shock you off your chair. Yep, that good. The Delirium trilogy has been a wonderful roller coaster full of emotion and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the books and the journey it has taken me on. I hope that Lauren Oliver carries on writing unique and beautiful sets of books because I am craving to read about another original and crazy world (with more boys like Alex, of course) Right now I am just crying my eyes out, I think the ending was perfect. In a way it was also very cruel, I wish there was more. There are so so many questions unanswered but in the end I guess that is okay because those last sentences of the book still gave me more than I ever could have imagined. This book has a clear message and even if the true story and the writing may be a little slow at times it still gets a hold of you and I think I will never really let this book go. It has become a such huge part of me now, all these thing it has taught me. Just incredible, I am speechless. The reason I will never forget this book is probably not because of the romance or these basic things you usually love about these kind of things. It is the way the characters evolved, changed and in a way they were never perfect but they did their best. You could learn so much for them. I do not know what to say to even describe the feeling. Just wow. HEART. SHATTERING. Merged review: To read this review on my blog, click here.
  • 9. WARNING: If you have not read the first two books in this trilogy, Delirium and Pandemonium, there WILL be spoilers in this review for those books. Now, on with the review. Oh, how it hurts me to know that this is the final installment of the Delirium series. But what goes up what must come down, just as what begins must end. Even if it's beautiful. Delirium holds the mark of a truly good book, in that it connects with you. It connects with every piece of you, and you feel like you're there. Like you're a part of it. Like you're in love. Like you're hurt. Like you're scared. I still strongly think that Alex is my first love. Because he is. This story became a part of me, a part of my emotions. It is by no means an average book. Delirium, Pandemonium, and Requiem flow seamlessly. They are set in a futuristic America where love is considered to be a disease known as the Deliria. There is a cure administered to all citizens above the age of 18 that eradicates love from the recipient's mind. There are boundaries, curfews, laws, and walls in this America. Things to keep people safe. To keep them from the Deliria. Lena Haloway is the main character in this series. She is an average, rule- following girl. And then she catches the Deliria. And everything changes. She falls in love, and these books are her story. Delirium. Book 1.
  • 10. This is the beginning. The easy, beautiful, painless beginning. It eases you into the series. Sweeps you off your feet. Makes you fall in love. It draws you in. Pandemonium. Book 2. This book begins with hurt, pain, and a bitterness that almost creeps into yourself. But it begins to build you back up. You begin to love the characters again, even if you thought you never would, after Delirium. Slowly, but surely, you fall in love with the characters all over again. Requiem. Book 3. The heartbreak that this book begins with is nearly unbearable. The most awful, terrifying choice lies before Lena, and it breaks your own heart nearly as much as it is breaking hers. It makes it unbearable to put the book down. You are left reading for hours on end, dying to know what happens in the end, yet still willing the book to last forever because you don't want the story to stop. Requiem is beautiful. Not merely for the fact that people chose to love even when love seemed so impossible, but also for the fact that people chose to stand up. They didn't let corrupt leaders control them. They stood up for what they believed in. Even though this book seems to be focused on love, it's really about so much more than that. It's focused on everything that's worth fighting for. The Delirium series, and especially Requiem, shouts a message to the world. It screams that there cannot be freedom without responsibility, there isn't health without pain, and there can never be love without choice. If you're going to fight for something, make it something worthwhile. Something you believe in. Something good. And give it all you have. Favorite quote from the book:
