Review:
In the third installment in Lauren Oliver's Trilogy, Delirium. The story takes an entirely different route and a new outlook, but bearing in mind that I had some really HIGH expectations, I was disappointed - honestly. I expected a bamming completion to the story.
With the story taking place in an odd setting, it changed the identity that was once given to the story, leaving us to a rather uncivilized world, full of hunger and cruelty. This story was once about a disease called the deliria. Nonetheless, for the most part I enjoyed the fact it was written from two point of views. Hana's and Lena's. And I really admired Hana's part.
The style of writing is still Lauren Oliver-y awesome! She never fails in engaging me with her writing, along with the story's intensity, both kept me partially glued to the book because I wanted to see the ending. The ending, however, was a disguised one - Yup! a disguised one, seriously - it meant to make you think it was the ending of this amazing series but it wasn't because it will leave unsatisfied, means without actually ending everything. But I guess, maybe Ms Lauren didn't want upset any of the parties or to just leave the rest to us. In both cases, I was left disheartened. Don't get me wrong though, the book was still splendid and I liked it.
Overall, I cannot deny the fact that I utterly enjoyed this book and it kept me at the edge of my seat, I was hoping to see more of a masterpiece since it's the ending of the trilogy, but I didn't find that. Complications, love triangle, emotions, love, sacrifice, war, longing, struggle, disappointments & hope, those were most of the themes that outlined Requiem. I would recommend it of course to those who already read the first two books, who wouldn't want to read the finale but just keep your expectations low....

The Delirium TV Show!
Delirium is going to be turned into a TV show!!!!!? Can you believe it? Because I can't - I am super excited - but guess who is going to play Lena.... Emma Roberts which I actually don't how I feel about and Alex is going to be portraited by Daren Kagssoff ( whom I never heard of - is it that weird? ) and Julian by Gregg Sulkin. Anyhow, here is the link to Lauren Oliver's announcement on Tumblr ( Link HERE ) Unfortunately though, with the books being turned into a TV show, it is said that there are going to be some major changes.
