Book Summary:
I’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
push,
push,
push,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.
Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.
WOW! I really love this series. Although there is not much I can write that won't be a spoiler.
Pandemonium is not told chronologically but rather jumps back and forth between THEN - starting when Delirium ended and NOW which is about a year later. We are introduced to a whole new set of characters who I couldn't help but love even though I started the book missing Alex.
I predicted the main things that were going to happen in this book but Lauren Oliver took me on quite a ride getting from point A to B. The Wild was nothing like I imagined it would be. Pandemonium focuses much more on the Resistance and has more violence in it then Delirium did. As I predicted it was another cliffhanger ending. It will be a long wait for Requiem to be released in 2013!
This is a INCREDIBLE book that I loved! This is one series I wouldn't mind having extended to more than 3 books. I'm not sure I will have had enough with just one more book.
If you have not yet read Delirium I highly recommend you do before Pandemonium is released at the end of February.

Content: Language including a couple uses of the F word, clothes off but no sex, quite a bit of violence.
