#Pandemonium lauren oliver character full
Pandemonium'picks up after Lenas flight into the Wilds, an area beyond the governments jurisdiction thats apparently full of fearsome individuals who still have the power to feel emotions.
After all, forbidden love is even more exciting when its illegal, right? Delirium, rather is a Romeo and Juliet'tale of star-crossed love, with the anti-love context providing little more than a brutal way in which to keep protagonist Lena away from her love interest Alex: in sum, its essentially a romance novel slapped against a flimsy dystopian context. Its a sort of surgically applied Brave New World mixed with the heavy-handed government of 1984, but unfortunately with none of the context, let alone understanding of that context, that made these seminal dystopian works so memorable.
Lauren Olivers Delirium'( see my review) posited a world in which love is outlawed due to its perception as a dangerous disease whose symptoms result in all manner of illogical actions, and where a puritanical government has mandated what amounts to an anti-emotion treatment in order to stifle any sort of passionate response to stimuli.
