Yey or Nay?

Delirium- Taylor, Brianna, Destiny, Irwin, Amber, and Patrick
The novel as a whole was deep, meaningful, and inspiring. We  loved the use and effectiveness of love and danger. The best parts of our novel was the first meetings between the characters, such as Lena and Alex's meting during the evaluation and once again when she entered the evaluation area without permission. The beach scene with the two of them was another favorite of ours with the incredible secret of Alex and Lena's outrageous reaction. The best thing and yet the worst was the ending, the dramatic scene of Alex and Lena's final days together is heart wrenching. One thing we didn't like was the abuse and under appreciated animals though this was necessary to the plot and advancement of the Lena's character. Another thing that could have been approved was the variety of both people and landmarks. It seemed like there was a set  template for places in the novel, all the streets seeming the same, with only four or five set landmarks in the entire story. Regardless of the things that could have been changed the main story is beautifully written, full of excitement and suspense. The author had beautiful prose, and described the limited scenery with great detail. We would recommend this novel to people who love drama, adventure, romance, and dystopian culture.
