One of the best books I've ever read!
I absolutley adore this book! It really makes you think about how life would be if love was actually was a disease.The one thing I didn't like about this book was the beginning. I understand why the author made it that way, but it was kind of slow and boring to me. But don't worry, it picks up and becomes really good. I definitely reccomend this book!
Eh...
Good book, cliche ending. Don't really feel the need to read the others. The cliffhanger isn't that horrible, so don't worry
Very Awesome book
This book is so good you won't be able to stop reading it!!!!!!!
Lauren Oliver
Lauren Oliver is an amazing author! She really knows how to stir up reader's emotions. You're either crying your eyes out (Before I Fall) or so angry you could burst because you NEED the next book (Delirium Series).
Wow
I am a picky reader but this book is really WOW. It has a lot of material about what love really is and what the sacrifices of it are. It demonstrates really well how very lucky we are to live in a country in which we are allowed to love and are not subjected to a surgery that takes our independence away. A great, moving, entertaining read.
Next book please?
If you're horrible about waiting for sequels to come out, don't read this now. It ends on a horrible cliffhanger.
Great
amazing book that really puts things into perspective.
