Reviews

'In the same mode as Suzanne Collins in her Hunger Games trilogy, Oliver, too, posits a feisty, physically able heroine, giving as good as she gets, in a fast-paced YA thriller: this trend is a welcome one' -- Independent on Sunday on PANDEMONIUM 'We're big fans of Lauren Oliver and this is the emotionally charged follow-up to last year's futuristic love story DELIRIUM. With echoes of Brave New World, we catch up with young heroine Lena as she attempts to survive in the dangerous Wilds ... Now we just have to wait for the final episode in the trilogy.' -- Bella 'Thrilling and thought-provoking... Fast paced and consistently poignant, this tale quickly becomes hypnotically addictive. We almost missed our stop on the bus because we were so engrossed. Lena is a strong multi-faceted character and the future society in which she exists genuinely terrifying... A thoughtful, exciting and moving story that reminds us just how important love is. Devour it, then go and give all your friends a big hug.' -- Heat 'Crackling with tension, Lauren Oliver's follow up to DELIRIUM is as whip smart and addictive as her dystopian debut.' -- Marie Claire 'Prepare to become completely absorbed.' -- Glamour 'Oliver is a considerably better writer than the Twilight creator - an adept and occasionally courageous storyteller who can shock and awe with a well-placed twist.' -- Independent 'Beautifully written in Lauren Oliver's inimitable style.' -- daisychainbookreviews.blogspot.co.uk 'Oliver writes in such a beautiful way, it's hard to put the book down. 5/5' -- Press Association 'I loved this book.' -- overflowinglibrary.com 'I didn't want to put it down for a minute until I reached the end.' -- feelingfictional.com 'I devoured this book.' -- grippedintobooks.blogspot.com 'We're big fans of Lauren Oliver and this is the emotionally charged follow-up to last year's futuristic love story DELIRIUM.
