Delirium by Lauren Oliver


SYNOPSIS:  Lena lives in a time when the United States has done away with love.  It is dangerous and unproductive to love others.  Instead, boys and girls are kept separate all their lives until they can have a procedure done to alter their brains.  After the procedure, no one can be infected with the disease.  Lena has always believed this was for the best, until she meets someone who changes everything.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  This book has an interesting story idea, and a relatable character.  The storytelling style is fluid and easy-to-read.  Unfortunately, there is some very strong language in the book, as well as some sensuality.  I would reserve it only for adult readers, although I would advise caution, due to the content issues.

RATING:  PG13 for Strong Language and Sensuality

AUDIENCE:  Adult

RATING:  2 1/2 stars
