PANDEMONIUM LAUREN OLIVER TOUGH QUESTIONS FULL
I can only hope the sudden reappearance of Alex doesn’t make for a book full of love-triangle teen-angst whining. In Requiem, I want to see Lena take charge. In this book, she was able and willing to work with the resistance to gradually destabilize and take the down the government–only problem was, she spent the entire novel being manipulated by the resistance and almost ended up costing Julian his life. In Delirium, she was a brainwashed fool who only slowly came around to realize the truth about her society. The action distracted me from the flaws.I’m hoping to see a completely independent Lena in the final book of this trilogy.
I didn’t feel them as much because the book’s plot was more interesting. We get a better glimpse of the way the government controls the masses and what their plans are for the future.While this totalitarian US is still a bit unrealistic–I mean, how does the US seal its borders and become completely self-sufficient without any serious economic repercussions?–and the whole “love is a disease” thing remains far-fetched, the issues with the premise this time around were less tangible. The freaky, Nazi-reminiscent way the people rallied, brainwashed, behind false ideals made the society seem a lot more realistic than it was in Delirium. Lena was more active in this book, which made her a better protagonist. A lot of new characters were introduced, and all of them were fairly interesting. She received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from New York University.Ī lot more stuff happened in this novel than in its prequel, and for that, I was thankful. Oliver received an academic scholarship to the University of Chicago, where she was elected Phi Beta Kappa.
