In essence, Delirium a story about first love and love that endures against all odds.

Whilst I enjoyed Lauren Oliver's writing style, I felt the book lacking somewhat in my expectations. It focusses a lot on the central love story rather than the world in which love has been declared a dangerous disease. I would have preferred more back-story, learning how scientists came to that conclusion, about the development of the cure and the “cleansing” of the invalids. These areas are all mentioned but skimmed over.
