Oliver's powerful return to a contemporary realistic setting will find wide a readership with this fast-paced and captivating book.", PRAISE FOR PANDEMONIUM:"This is a romance in the purest of senses, where just the longing for the faintest taste of love is worth the greatest of risks. Like all successful second volumes, this expands the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale.", PRAISE FOR DELIRIUM:"Strong characters, a vivid portrait of the lives of teens in a repressive society, and nagging questions that can be applied to our world today make this book especially compelling and discussable.", "Stupendous and stupefying!
