Delirium (Delirium, #1)

Dystopian fiction, particularly the young adult kind, is plummeting downhill at 100 mile-an-hour.

No kidding. The moment a certain genre becomes popular, the market is flooded with mediocrity written by the bandwagon jumpers.

By the way, what about Divergent? It's on my TBR list but I'm wondering if that's just going to be another disappointment.
I gave Divergent 3 stars. There is nothing spectacular about it IMO, but it is at least more engaging than Delirium. So it might be worth a library rental.
the two of you have really high standards :)
Jesus, was Delirium really bad? I actually got excited for it too, just bought the audiobook because it looked like the next best thing to the Hunger Games so honestly, if this aint it, can you at least point me in the right direction to what is? I miss The Hunger Games so bad
Lol Tatiana, i read your review, it was awesome. Have you tried Legend? I think you may like it if you haven't read it already. Also the Maze Runner which was arguably even better.
Lots of people liked it, but it wasn't to my taste (or Tatiana's). It depends what you're looking for in dystopian fiction... you might like Divergent if you want something fast-paced with a romantic subplot.
Ughhhh I didn't like this at all, every page was painful =/
I'm so happy people like you exist.
I agree. This book is just weird... and a train wreck.
i just read the whol series, mabye the plot is a bit odd but that doesn't make the book terrible or weird it just makes it a little bit different, so you people dissing this book, get your head out of your ass and look at the world, and this book a little less like a pessimist
Totally agree. This book is such a waste of time!
I loved this book so much!! But it was the first dystopian book series I read though :)

The first book was okay, actually, in my opinion, but it was the second one that COMPLETELY negated the premise of the first one and made me kind of gag.
1.Go to Amazon, (or Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ or whatever)2. Type in YA
3. Buy al the top ten of 'em
4. Read it
5. Hate it
6. Leave a discouraging review at GR and make everyone feel bad.
Seriously, why do you read YA dystopian all the time if you hate it?
:-) No offence, BTW.
Was it really that bad?
I loved the book. c:
such a Debbie Downer
Conversely,I loved this book.
