Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed on + 212 more book reviews


I bought this book based on the strength of Lauren Olivers follow up novel, Delirium, knowing that people really love this book. Personally, I both loved and hated it. Loved the beauty of it, the story that it took me through. Hated that these people are so common place, we all know them, and thinking about how unfair it all is.

The first thing that struck me very early in the book is just how horrible Sam and her friends are. They are just the epitome of that popular high school girl, the Plastics, if you will. Anyone who didnt know these girls in school was one of them. Because even if you werent directly targeted by that group, their behavior inevitably affected you.
