Day 386: One Hundred Book Challenge: Book Nine

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

This is a dystopian novel. (I promise one day I will eventually review something other than a dystopian novel. Just all of the books I recently bought are dystopian novels. So, that's what I'm going to review obviously.)

In this one, the government has declared love a "disease" that can potentially kill you and has made it mandatory once a person has turned eighteen that they get cured. Then you are matched with someone that the government picks for you based on your evaluation. But there are people who run away before then and they are referred to as invalids and they run into the "Wilds" and supposedly die.

It's an awesome book but the ending will make you cry and those of you who have weak stomachs for violence, this may not be the book for you. The government in this book is pretty awful and tyrannical in it's ruling.
