Delirium

Ninety-five days, and then I’ll be safe.
I wonder whether the procedure will hurt.
I want to get it over with.
It’s hard to be patient.
It’s hard not to be afraid while I’m still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn’t touched me yet.
Still, I worry.
They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness.
The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don’t.

Right before I picked this book up, I read a very negative review about it so I started reading it with pretty low expectations. I think that was pretty good because I ended up really liking the book. It started a little slow but it got better and then I couldn't even put it down. It was easy to read and even though it's pretty thick - it was a fast and exciting read.

I liked most of the characters and they really made me feel something for them. At first, Lena was kind of boring but suddenly she did a real turn. I also liked Gracie but I'm not so sure she turns up later on in the trilogy. We'll have to wait and see.

It's a great book, interesting and thrilling and I highly recommend it.
