This week, I finished reading Delirium. In my opinion the currently tending books are those of dystopian societies where the main characters are always going against the society’s rules. Delirium is one of these books. In my previous blog posts I’ve talked about how Lena was always following society’s rules until she met a boy whom made her realize all the wonderful feelings associated with love. But, in their society love is a forbidden disease that causes all the world’s problems: death, rage, disease, ect. Upon finishing the book, there were many twists and turns in the plot. For example, Lena decides, after hearing the truth about what really happened to her mother, that the society has nothing to offer her other than being trapped in a box for the rest of her life. Therefore, the last few chapters of the book focus on what Lena plans to do in order to escape the life society has laid out before her. Questions such as how can Lena be with the boy she loves and whether or not Lena can successfully evade the security within the society to escape, are frequently wondered by the reader at the end of the book.
In addition, in the coming week and time off over Christmas break, I will be writing the book review on Delirium, talking to my mentor about another book, and figure out what kind of web service I should use for posting my book reviews. One of my New Year’s goals is to start reading a variety of genres of books. So far I’ve been reading the same romance type books since the start of 20 Time. And in order to succeed as a book review blogger, variety is a must (as told to me by my mentor). In a way I think this is going to benefit myself in the long run. It will expose me to more styles of writing and storyline’s.
