Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

**DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT YET COMPLETED DELIRIUM by LAUREN OLIVER**

So naturally as soon as I finished reading Delirium the first thing I did was go and download Pandemonium, it's sequel. This book by Lauren Oliver continues the story of Lena after her escape into the Wilds. Lena has to learn to leave her past behind her and create a new identity and a new life for herself as an Invalid. 

Although at times I found myself a bit bored (the writing was quite slow) the story overall is riveting and keeps you turning the pages! The book is told in alternating chapter of "then" (when Lena first arrived in the Wilds) and "now" (Lena's present life as a part of the Resistance).

Once again I will mention the beautiful prose that Lauren Oliver uses allowing the book to truly captivate the reader and delve them into this dystopian universe. I have to say that I was never truly surprised by any of the events that unfolded, and I felt as if I was waiting for them to happen throughout the entire book (not trying to give away any spoilers here!) With that said, however, I think that Oliver did a wonderful job of continuing this series.

...and now onto read the final book in the series!
