Product Information

From the author of the blockbuster: Before I Fall, comes a dystopian love story worthy of a Jennifer Lawrence movie. This fast paced, YA thriller is a fast paced page-turner, written by an author who in the words of the Independent "can shock and awe with a well-paced twist".

'Lauren Oliver is the rising star of young adult fiction... [Delirium] deftly conjures up a recognisably dystopian parallel to our own world, as convincingly terrifying as the North America of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.' - Sunday Times 'Prepare to pull a sickie and be rooted to your chair with one of the most addictive books we've come across in ages... A recklessly romantic, smart, poignant and tense read from one of the most exciting writers around... Clever, moving and incredibly addictive.' - Heat 'I didn't leave my bedroom all weekend after I picked up this Margaret Atwood meets Twilight novel. Ah-ma-zing.' - Grazia 'An original and fast-moving read from a very talented writer.' - Sun 'The transformation of Lena's character from start to finish is amazing, and Oliver's words really tug at your heartstrings. Highly recommended.' - Press Association 'A dystopian Romeo and Juliet story that deserves to be as massive as Twilight.' - Stylist 'A beautifully written and wonderfully addictive book that fans of Margaret Atwood will devour.' - Best 'Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall was one of Bella's favourite books of last year and this follow-up doesn't disappoint.' - Bella 'Hugely compelling and addictive, this has massive commercial potential.' - Bookseller's Choice, The Bookseller 'This has to be one of the most original fiction concepts for a long time... Brilliantly constructed... will leave you with your heart in your mouth... It will stir up the emotions that remind you why you bother with love at all.' - News of the World 'A dystopian Romeo and Juliet ... Lauren's Oliver's futuristic vision, set in an alternate but recognisable America, is chillingly realised.' - Marie Claire 'The setting for this clever, imaginative novel is a society in which love is treated as a disease... With a pacy, absorbing plot and a cast of engaging characters to revel in, Delirium also raises all manner of talking points: relationships, the role of the family, state intervention, friendship, loyalty, individual freedom. The movie must surely be just around the corner.' - Daily Mail 'Finished reading Lauren Oliver's book Delirium. A beautiful read. Can't stop thinking about it.' - Fearne Cotton
