A book not known by many but it's worth a try!

Love...a single word full of meaning and also the greatest fear in this society. For those in this book it is known as "Amor Deliria Nervosa", a deadly disease that can turn your life upside down in the blink of an eye.

"Love: It will kill you and save you, both. But it does not tell you this: that love will turn the whole world into something greater than itself."(Delirium)"

When all your life you've been told that this disease is the end of everything as you know it, there is only one thing left to do, being cured, at least that's what Lena thought. The government demands that every person has to be cured through a neurologic procedure at the age of 18, to prevent the disease. Then you can marry a man that they have chose for you based in a series of evaluations, it's like a type of match. Of course, there are people who believe the disease is the worst thing that can happen to somebody, beginning with it's symptoms (explained in the book of Shh) and the consequences of them. But there is also those who would risk everything to keep feeling the "symptoms" of the disease and choose a life of freedom, these people are called invalids.

Lena lives a simple life with her aunt and two cousins. She spends most of her time with her best friend Hana (the reckless one). Both of them will be cured in a few months. Lena has been counting the days to get the procedure. The disease has destroyed her family, and she doesn't want to end like her mother "crazy in love". That's the only thing in her mind, until she...well you have to read it.

The only way to achieve happiness and stability is receiving the cure but, will Lena receive the cure and live a robot life controlled by the government? or will she choose a life of freedom?...

This book presents a very different story that can captivate you and draw you inside the world created by Lauren Oliver. The author mixes romance, suspense and adventure in a complete different way that leaves you wanting more. The way she transforms what we know about love and the brain mechanisms that underlie it is amazing. The beggining of the book is a little slow and can be boring sometimes, but i can asure you...KEEP reading it and you won't be disappointed. I can't wait for the second book. Hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

"I'd rather die my way than live yours" (Lauren Oliver, Delirium)
