JCPL Teens

I finally read Delirium by Lauren Oliver! Personally I liked it much better than Oliver’s book Before I Fall because I liked the main characters better and the day did not keep starting over (that drove me crazy in Before I Fall).  Don’t get me wrong, though, many of the teen librarians enjoyed Before I Fall,  so give it a try if you haven’t read it.

 

Back to Delirium. I really enjoyed seeing the development of the main characters Lena and Alex. They are teenagers living in a dystopian society in which love has been declared a disease. Teens in this society undergo a procedure on their 18^th birthday that is a cure for ever loving in one’s lifetime. Some teens look forward to this procedure and some teen dread it and even fight it. Which type of teen will Lena be?
