This week I read up to chapter 18, page 288. Once the conflict was presented within Delirium, the book is hard to put down. At first I thought that this book was going to be one where everything exciting and interesting occurs the last 50 pages of the book. Due to the fact that the beginning had some dry spots in my opinion. But now that I am past that, I find myself reading in every spare moment I have; which is not a lot of time being a high school student. Last week, I commented on the fact that, the main character, Lena was unwilling to allow herself to love in the society where love is a disease and crime. Lena has always followed the rules until now; she sees that the society has been lying to everyone and maybe love does not necessarily lead to death and despair. Because of this, Lena becomes infected with love and accepts the consequences of being in love. I won't tell you who Lena falls in love with, because that is one of the surprises in the book. By falling in love, Lena now wishes she had more time before she receives the cure- a procedure done within the society to eliminate the ability to love from a person.
In addition, I will continue reading, at least two chapters, for next Friday. With Delirium becoming more complex every chapter, I hope to have finished reading this book before the end of the month. The book also makes the reader wonder about how Lena will survive without being able to love. This make me wonder whether or not Lena can escape taking the cure or is one of the few people that the cure doesn't work on. Therefore, I think that it is a reachable goal of finishing Delirium because I am at page 288 out of 441; about half way through the book. Finally, I would like to mention that Delirium is part of a trilogy, and if you would like to see a book review done for the next two books, comment and let me know; I would love to read the rest of series.
