Another book, Alex, was also released between the first and second books. Oliver wrote several other books, two set between the first and second book, and another set between the second and third book, which were later compiled into one book, Delirium Stories: Hana, Annabel, and Raven. The novel is the first installment in a trilogy, the second being Pandemonium and the third, Requiem. Watching a news report about a pandemic, the two ideas combined to form Delirium. As her first book was about death, love was the next logical step.
Oliver says she was inspired to write a novel about love after reading an essay by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who said that all books were either about love or death. The Independent gave a mostly positive review, stating that although Oliver is "an adept and occasionally courageous storyteller", the story was "somewhat exhausting".Delirium, Lauren Oliver’s dystopian young adult novel, was published in 2011 by Harper Collins. Lena slowly begins to fall in love with Julian as he begins to tell more about his abusive father, his real thoughts in the disease, and why he really joined the DFA.Ĭritical reception for the novel was mostly positive, with Kirkus Reviews and the School Library Journal giving it starred reviews. With the memory of Alex's sacrifice in mind, she navigates her way out of the place with Julian. Julian is unable to receive the procedure because he has a brain tumor.
She is part of the DFA, the Deliria Free America, and during one of its rallies, she is kidnapped by other Invalids, called Scavengers, and held in captive with Julian Fineman, the leader of the youth division of the DFA. The book also follows Lena in her life while she lives in New York City with two other characters from the Wilds: Raven and Tack. That is easier said than done, as Lena and her group have much standing in their way. She is now free of the "cure," but she and her acquaintances decide that they must do the same for everyone else and restore society to its former state. She is helped her back to health by the group, which takes place as her new family. She becomes very weak and is found nearly dead by a group of people. Unfortunately for her, the Wilds are less wonderful than she thought. Lena is now in the Wilds alone, and the sequel begins by switching the chapters from the present "now" and the past "then" point of view of Lena until they are joined together in Chapter 13. The book follows up the events of Delirium.
The book was preceded by a novella entitled Hana and was succeeded by Requiem, the final book in the series. The book was first published on Februthrough HarperTeen and follows the series' protagonist as she explores the Wilds outside the walled community she was raised in. Pandemonium is a 2012 dystopian young adult novel written by Lauren Oliver and the second novel in her Delirium trilogy.
