I thought that Delirium was beautifully written and incredibly captivating, but then again, I do tend to suspend disbelief when reading dystopian novels, just for the sake of my sanity.

I enjoyed the Uglies series but I read them so long ago before a lot of the other similar books came out. i appreciate your honesty.

I did! I found it addictive. But this one just felt derivative rather than fresh, you know? To each their own, obviously.

I read the first 20 or so pages and wasn't impressed yet, which was why I haven't read more since then! It's good to know that this is a possibility.Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-2700350027685777872010-12-01T05:26:42.336-05:002010-12-01T05:26:42.336-05:00I haven't read much of any dystopian, so I thi...I haven't read much of any dystopian, so I think this book would do at least a little something for me. Lauren Oliver is a pretty fantastic writer. Uglies rocked my world in middle school.

It is hard waiting around for that next amazing book to re-invigorate you on your genre of choice! I am going to try to find The Knife of Never Letting Go now.

I am getting an Uglies vibe from it too.<br /><br />I think it's hard to relate to most of the characters because the concept is so far removed from real life.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299610611688148134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-20589503293676175822010-11-30T08:38:15.929-05:002010-11-30T08:38:15.929-05:00Oooo that quote wasn't good.
