![]() ![]() ![]() That said, my main problem with the book is that the society itself seems so ridiculously unlikely. I also absolutely adored the extracts from the anti-love propaganda which started each chapter and found the novel a highly entertaining read. There's no question at all that Delirium is beautifully written and that Lena is a fantastic main character who develops really well as she falls in love for the first time and finds her world changed completely. But with the date of the cure so close, can she possibly do anything about her new feelings? ![]() And then she meets a boy, and her views on love are turnedĬompletely upside down. She knows things will change - she's seen the effect it has on those who go through it and the way it makes them all calmer - but she's ready to welcome it. After her mother's suicide for love Lena is desperate to reach that age and receive the cure. The cure has been found for amor deliria nervosa, and is given to all children when they reach the age of 18. Lena's world has nearly reached that stage. Where romance was dead, parents felt no affection for their children, and Romeo and Juliet was studied as a cautionary tale. ![]()
