Delirium

As someone that doesn't usually go for dystopian novels, Delirium wasn't really a game changer for me. That being said, the love story embedded into the plot made my inner thirteen year old want to continue reading. The novel had some elements for a good plot (a totalitarian alternate present, an Invalid living among the townspeople, a tainted family reputation, etc), but ends up falling short as it came off more superficial than Oliver had probably intended. Throughout the novel certain key events were so heavily foreshadowed that even the climax of the plot could have been predicted less than halfway through the book. Delirium definitely didn't give me any ‘feels' and I probably won't be reading the rest of the series. Two stars for a setting that has potential and a satisfactory plot line that by no means exceeded my expectations of this book.
