So what are we talking about here? Dystopia like woah. In a world where love itself has been termed a disease, Lena has left everything behind in the name of a boy. Now, without Alex by her side, how will she survive? Who will she become?Sounds sort of interesting! What's the problem? I mean, I probably should have seen this coming after my less-than-stellar review of Delirium, the first in the trilogy, but I was swayed by all the positive reviews rolling in and decided to take a look. Nope. Still don't get the concept, and Lena's grief was difficult to relate to as I was always just a little bit meh on Alex.How far did you make it? <50 pages.Any chance you'll pick it up again? I don't see it happening. I carried so many issues forward from the previous book that I don't have the effort to trudge through world-building and info-dumps. I either want all the explanations right away or enough action/intrigue to distract me from the fact that I understand nothing.Well, should others give it a try? If you enjoyed or even just sort of liked Delirium, then definitely! Most of my GR friends who gave the series' first installment two or three stars were bumping up to four and five come this one. It's been very well-received, and I'm told there are twists abound.Originally posted at JUSTINEXORABLE.COM.
