Reviews

'The new Hunger Games ... We loved the first two books, and spring sees the publication of the final instalment ... With a movie trilogy in the pipeline too, you'd better get reading!' -- Cosmopolitan '[T]he final chapters of Lena Haloway's journey will have readers breathlessly turning the pages ... A dystopian tour de force.' -- Kirkus reviews 'Lauren Oliver is the rising star of young adult fiction ... [DELIRIUM] deftly conjures up a recognisably dystopian parallel to our own world, as convincingly terrifying as the North America of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.' -- The Sunday Times on DELIRIUM 'Amazing, unputdownable!' -- Grazia on DELIRIUM 'Thrilling and thought-provoking ... Fast paced and consistently poignant, this tale quickly becomes hypnotically addictive.' -- Heat on PANDEMONIUM 'Crackling with tension, Lauren Oliver's follow up to DELIRIUM is as whip smart and addictive as her dystopian debut.' -- Marie Claire on PANDEMONIUM 'Prepare to become completely absorbed.' -- Glamour on PANDEMONIUM 'Oliver is a considerably better writer than the Twilight creator - an adept and occasionally courageous storyteller who can shock and awe with a well-placed twist.' -- Independent on PANDEMONIUM 'We're big fans of Lauren Oliver and this is the emotionally charged follow-up to last year's futuristic love story DELIRIUM. With echoes of Brave New World, we catch up with young heroine Lena as she attempts to survive in the dangerous Wilds ... Now we just have to wait for the final episode in the trilogy.' -- Bella on PANDEMONIUM
