Ninety-five days, and then I’ll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It’s hard to be patient. It’s hard not to be afraid while I’m still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn’t touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when … things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don’t.

I’ve had these books for a long time, but I got them back when Hunger Games and the post-apocalyptic genre became super popular. By the time I had worked my way through other similar series, I needed a break and forgot about these books.
I wish I hadn’t. The author’s idea that Love is the disease that ruined the nation, is a unique idea that …
I’ve read this series so many times, it’s one of my absolute favorites!
This was a great and unexpected read! Enjoyed the entire series. This was a great addition to my favorite author list.
I am a big fan of this series, I love the author’s writing.

Stop reading if you don’t want spoilers to the end of the book or any at all
I started reading this book because I read it’s in the top 10 YA dystopian books to read. Finally finished it and was flabbergasted at the end of the book. Once Alex didn’t cross the boarder with her I cried No! The whole time I was why didn’t he make it and he better …
Too melodramatic for me.
I absolutely loved this book and the whole series. Lauren Oliver delivered a wonderful novel about love and all of the things we will do to keep it. Highly recommend this series for those who loved Divergent and The Hunger Games!
Loved this series!
Why is love really so important? And why is a four letter word? This one made me think.
Such a good love story, love the way the author builds the story.
Literally one of my favorite books!
Haunting and beautiful.
Love the romance in this book!
Loved!
Outstanding! Ages 12+
By far my favorite book!
I found the world that Lauren Oliver created a bit scary. The thought of not being able to love or to be loved. If that is the case what do we really have? Is live worth living? Those were some of the thoughts I had at the beginning, then Oliver surprises you with her characters and their romance, it will make you crave that head-over-heels, …
Oh my gosh, what can I say, I recommend this book to everyone I know. I tell them they HAVE to read this one. It draws you in and you follow these characters through their journey as they unfold into their lives. Oh my gosh, I just couldn’t put it down.
Let’s start general, this was a great book, amazing, and has a wonderful story line. I thought this book was very similar to the series Uglies, by Scott Westerfield, and the series Matched, by Allie Condie. They have similarities in each other, although each one is significantly different and intriguing. This book was especially unique because, …
Great dystopian
As an adult, I enjoyed this book even though it is meant for teens. It was an interesting and engaging plot with a lot of tension. I also found Lena to be a well-developed and relatable protagonist. There was a romantic subplot that I found to be appropriate for my 12 year old. I would definitely read more in the series.
