Riassunto

There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it. Then, at last, they found the cure. Now, everything is different. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Haloway has always looked forward to the day when she'll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. But then, with only ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable

Recensione:

'Lauren Oliver is the rising star of young adult fiction... [Delirium] deftly conjures up a recognisably dystopian parallel to our own world, as convincingly terrifying as the North America of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.' (Sunday Times)

'Prepare to pull a sickie and be rooted to your chair with one of the most addictive books we've come across in ages.... A recklessly romantic, smart, poignant and tense read from one of the most exciting writers around... Clever, moving and incredibly addictive.' (Heat)

'A dystopian Romeo and Juliet story that deserves to be as massive as Twilight.' (Stylist)

'A beautifully written and wonderfully addictive book that fans of Margaret Atwood will devour.' (Best)

'Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall was one of Bella's favourite books of last year and this follow-up doesn't disappoint.' (Bella)

'Hugely compelling and addictive, this has massive commercial potential.' (Bookseller's Choice, The Bookseller)

'This has to be one of the most original fiction concepts for a long time... Brilliantly constructed... will leave you with your heart in your mouth... It will stir up the emotions that remind you why you bother with love at all.' (News of the World) --.

Descrizione del libro:

Following the phenomenal word-of-mouth success of BEFORE I FALL, Lauren Oliver's groundbreaking and emotionally wrenching story will resonate with readers young and old.
