This book was a lot better than I expected. This was one of those books that I basically read just because it was popular. I don't do it often, but I was pleasantly surprised this time. It sounded like it would be almost like 1984 or The Giver, both of which I just hated. And it did have aspects of those two books. But for some reason, Delirium worked for me where 1984 and the Giver didn't. It could have been really dull, but it wasn't. The author made it work. The characters were believable, even in a society that the reader shouldn't be able to relate to at all. The concept was very original, and I look forward to reading the sequel.
