There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it.
Then, at last, they found the cure.
Now, everything is different. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Haloway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.
But then, with only ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable…
Lauren Oliver’s “Delirium”, which I’ve previously reviewed, is out today in paperback with a new cover design.
I preferred the previous design, but the lower paperback prices that accompany this change should help the book reach a wider audience. If you’re a fan of dystopian stories, Delirium has a lot to offer – you can read what I enjoyed and what I didn’t over at the review.
The interactive trailer – where you can decide if you want to take the Cure – is below. Readers, what would you choose?

I totally agree with you about the cover. The other one was way better, but the interactive trailer sounds neat.
