Book Review of Pandemonium. Lauren Oliver (Delirium Trilogy 2)

Pandemonium. Lauren Oliver (Delirium Trilogy 2)


I didn't care too much for the first book. This one was much better, though at times predictable. Also, I don't understand how a young girl would be able to survive so many of the things that happen in this book, but I guess that is why it is a fiction book.

The story continues from when Lena enters the Wilds after her devastating ending from Delirium, the first book. She constantly reflects on a year and a half of time going between "Then" and "Now" for chapters in this book. It is pretty cool because it builds up and makes sense for how they connect the two together. In this story we see that Lena is weak and meets new people. She wants to get to know them, one is a girl named "Raven" who seems to be in charge of a group of people in the Wilds. Everyone has jobs that they do. Lena has now undertaken a task of watching a guy named Julian. Julian is a bit of a spokesperson for teenagers and "the cure". He has a list of surgeries that he's dealt with, and getting the cure could be dangerous for him.

While reading this book I already guessed what would happen in the end of it, and when I was right, I was so not surprised! Now I am hoping the third book is better because I am finally getting more into the story.

If you are a parent and are concerned with the content in this book, there is nudity, some lust, a few words of bad words (mainly the s word). There is no sex in it.
