DELIRIUM

Not always a good thing to judge a book by it's cover but in this case I am so glad I did. I love the cover and I loved reading this book even more. Which is kind of a funny thing because this book is all about how LOVE is a disease and before it can take hold of you, you must be cured by having an operation that will leave you with no feelings, no worries and no need for love. They even sight Romeo and Juliet as a example of the dangers that love can cause.

I really enjoyed the main character of the story Lena, she was very realistic and her reactions and feeling were believable to me. She did not have very high opinion of herself and therefore thought that having the love freeing procedure done who in some way make her life easier, she would have an arranged marriage, children and a career all laid out for her.

That all changes when she meets Alex just a few weeks before she is to be cured. He opens her eyes and her heart to a whole new way of thinking and feeling. Now what will she do?

I can say this book was a real page turner, every time I wanted to stop something happened to keep me reading on. I can say, this book gets the No# 2 spot in my favorite books of the year next to the HUNGER GAMES.
