Delirium discussion

Delirium takes place in a dystopian world where love is considered a disease, and scientists have created a cure. At age eighteen, all kids must have this procedure done to prevent them from love. Lena is looking forward to her procedure, until she meets Alex, and that changes everything.
The book takes place in Portland, Maine. It has been sixty-four years since the president announces that love is a disease and scientists have created a cure. Everything is decided for everyone. After the procedure that makes you immune to love, you are told who to marry, how many kids to have, where to live, and any other big decisions that life may bring upon you. The setting is important in the story because it contributes to the mood of the story. As Lena describes the world around her, you get an idea of what living in her shoes is really like. It seems a bit gloomy, as she doesn’t get to make her own decisions. As the book goes on and Lena goes about her everyday life, you see how important the setting is in the book.
Magdalena Haloway, or Lena for short, is the main character in the book Delirium. Lena goes through multiple changes throughout the book, such as her view on certain matters. One of the major changes that you notice in the book is her feelings about love. In the beginning of the book, Lena looks forward to her procedure to make her immune to love. She has never communicated with a boy, so she knows nothing other than that. She ends up meeting a boy, Alex. Alex changes her view on love, and towards the end of the book, she is looking for every reason possible to avoid her procedure, which leads her to taking drastic measures. One person who has Lena confused throughout the book is her mother. Her mother was taken away from Lena as a child, and Lena has vague memories of her. Memories of love. Her mother was the opposite of what you were supposed to be in this dystopian world. She was happy, cheerful, loving, and energetic. Lena strives to know more about her throughout the book, and that is part of what makes her change throughout the book.
My feelings about this book changed as I kept reading. Even though I liked the book overall, I was not happy with the ending. It took a turn, and something happened that I wasn’t expecting. This plot twist left me unsatisfied with the book. Besides the ending, I was happy with it. With the characters, the author did a great job of describing them. Because of the good description throughout the book, I had an image in my mind of what was happening. In my opinion, that is what makes a good book; it has to put in image in my mind of what is going on in the story. The change that Lena goes through from the beginning to the end of the book really made the book good. In the end, I enjoyed this book although I would have changed the ending to make it happier.

This book was made into a movie not to long ago. I want to see it sooooo bad!!😥 I feel the same about the ending, but all in all it was good and interesting. I hope the movie didn't change the story to much from the book, if so I am going to be so upset!!😭😭
