Delerium and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

Somehow I managed to read Delerium a few months back without ever picking up the sequel. While browsing for available ebooks from my local library, I found the sequel and dove in. Good choice!

Delerium is the first in a trilogy by Lauren Oliver. The narrator is Lena, who lives in a post-apocalyptic East Coast city where love is a disease. Teenagers get inoculated from it, but of course there are some pretty bad side effects (not caring about anyone?). So there are some people who don't want the "cure."  Lena plans on getting the cure until, of course, she meets a boy. Then her world is opened up to all kinds of different viewpoints, and she has to make some tough decisions.

I do not remember being completely swept up in the first novel, but the second one, Pandemonium, was a different matter. Once I remembered the plot, I was carried away with Lena to her new situation, and it took less than a day to read.

The third book comes out in early March, and I will be reading it right away!
