| My secretary & Delirium! |
Of literary interest…Each chapter of the novel begins with a quotation from a fictional but realistic-sounding source such as the government’s “Safety, Health and Happiness Handbook,” a “proverb” or even a nursery tale that sounds almost as if it could be from our own world. These headings give the book a very near-future feeling.
Finally, just gotta say…A great love story set in an incredibly authentic-feeling dystopian world, complete with its own literary canon.

Yeah, I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, too! Such a small touch, but brilliant! Great book. One I'm going to have to re-read in the future.
Thanks for sharing!

Delirium is on my to read list for June. I've heard great things about. So I will be reading it soon after I'm done with Die for Me and Divergent.
Few reviews have mentioned the "quotes" at the beginning of each chapter, and now I wonder why. You point to something really important. They definitely lent a really authentic feel to the story, adding so much to the dystopian universe Oliver created. It's one to pick up for sure.
Also, your Delirium is precious!!
I really want to read this one. Thanks for your insight to it. I hope to pick up some of her books soon!
Agreed, Erin, definitely worth a second read.
And thanks for stopping by, Lena, Carol & Regina--definitely give this one a read!
