Delirium is about a girl named Lena who has waited her whole life to be cured of deliria. The sickness of love. A couple of days before Lana has her procedure of the cure she falls in love with a boy named Alex. Alex is an invalid. Invalids are against the law.
This is an absolutely amazing book but really sad I cried heaps. It is about a girl called Lena her mother and father are dead and she lives with her aunt and uncle. She then meets Alex and falls in love. Although love is thought to be a disease and is strictly forbidden, so when people turn 18 they get the cure to stop them from falling in love. I really recommend reading this book! I rate it five stars
This is one of my all time favorite series!!!!!
Similar in nature to the Hunger games, this is a fantastic book. Another society being controlled by tyrants and those standing up saying they will not be treated as puppets. Suspenseful!
This wasn't really one of my favorite books....there was practically no action, just another love story....and then a love triangle in the 2nd and 3rd. :I

In this book, love is a disease. Lina, at the beginning of the story, can't wait for the procedure to block love from ur body. Then she meets Alex and instantly falls in love!
Best book ever-- couldn't stop reading it! It's dystopian, in a world where love is thought of as a disease, so it's illegal to love. Lena believed that love is terrible her whole life until one day... she falls in love. A MUST READ!
I finished it like 2 hours ago about in the future when they think love is a disease but how can people think love as a disease when its the best thing ever in the world.
I like how the author captures her feelings in this book its like art but with words it so beautiful
