Über diesen Titel

 They say that the cure for love will make me happy and safe forever. And I've always believed them.

Until now.

Now everything has changed. Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years suffocated by a lie.

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.

Kritikerstimmen

Lauren Oliver is the rising star of young adult fiction... [DELIRIUM] deftly conjures up a recognisably dystopian parallel to our own world, as convincingly terrifying as the North America of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.
Prepare to pull a sickie and be rooted to your chair with one of the most addictive books we've come across in ages . . . A recklessly romantic, smart, poignant and tense read from one of the most exciting writers around . . . Clever, moving and incredibly addictive.
An original and fast-moving read from a very talented writer.
'Amazing, unputdownable!'
The transformation of Lena's character from start to finish is amazing, and Oliver's words really tug at your heartstrings. Highly recommended.
A dystopian Romeo and Juliet story that deserves to be as massive as Twilight.
A beautifully written and wonderfully addictive book that fans of Margaret Atwood will devour.
Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall was one of Bella's favourite books of last year and this follow-up doesn't disappoint.
Hugely compelling and addictive, this has massive commercial potential.
This has to be one of the most original fiction concepts for a long time... Brilliantly constructed... will leave you with your heart in your mouth... It will stir up the emotions that remind you why you bother with love at all.
'A dystopian Romeo and Juliet . . . Lauren Oliver's futuristic vision, set in an alternate but recognisable America, is chillingly realised.'
The setting for this clever, imaginative novel is a society in which love is treated as a disease... With a pacy, absorbing plot and a cast of engaging characters to revel in, Delirium also raises all manner of talking points: relationships, the role of the family, state intervention, friendship, loyalty, individual freedom. The movie must surely be just around the corner.
'Finished reading Lauren Oliver's book Delirium. A beautiful read. Can't stop thinking about it.'
For proper, spellbinding immersion pick up a copy of Delirium.
This thought-provoking novel, the first in a new trilogy, will have you gripped from start to finish. But be warned: the cliffhanger will leave you desperate for the next instalment.
'Part The Handmaid's Tale, part Twilight, we're addicted.'

Great speaker and a gripping story about love.

I'm looking forward to the next book.

That's an awesome story 😍

While I really liked the idea and the way it love as a disease and it's cure are depicted within this dystopian society, I could not stand the main character's very flat love interest, the often extremely corny language and was very disappointed by the plot (and, upon consulting summaries, the plots of the other books in the trilogy).

There were a handful of inconsistencies and some really weird comparisons (he looks like he is trying to swallow a porcupine)... and the ending is not explained well enough to justify the characters' actions, but going further into that would be a major spoiler.
The speaker has some great acting moments in there. She is very good at depicting the main character's -often subconscious- emotions in her reading. However, overall I found her voice somewhat annoying (shrill, at times), even in non-emotional moments. And since I already could not stand the main character's love interest, the smug, slightly drunk-sounding acting she used for him made it only worse.

Plot vs. Romance

Welches andere Buch würden Sie mit Delirium vergleichen? Warum?

Das Buch erinnert am ehesten an die Triologie um Cassia und Ky von Ally Condie, da eine Elitedurch emotionale Kontrolle glaubt, Glück und Zufriedenheit zu schaffen, um so ihre Macht behaupten zu können.

Wie hat Ihnen Sarah Drew als Sprecher gefallen? Warum?

Durch ihre klare und ausdrucksvolle Stimme war das Englisch auch für eine Nicht-Muttersprachlerin gut zu verstehen. Außerdem folgte sie mit ihrer Stimme den Gefühlen der Personen.

Gab es im Hörbuch einen Moment, der Sie ganz besonders berührt hat?

Die Szene in den "krypts" sowie das Ende des Romans

Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

... Obwohl darauf natürlich das Hauptaugenmerk der Erzählung liegt.Die Liebe wird in einer unbestimmten Zukunft als die Krankheit "Amor delerium nervosa" angesehen. Schauplatz der Geschichte sind abgeriegelte Bereiche der USA, die durch einen chirurgischen Eingriff nach dem 18. Lebensjahr frei von dieser Krankheit sind - allerdings bedeutet ein Leben ohne Liebe nicht nur ein Leben ohne einen Partner, sondern auch eine fehlende Verbundenheit in Familien und keine wirklichen, treuen Freunde.Und deshalb handelt es sich bei diesem Buch nicht ausschließlich um eine Liebesgeschichte, sondern es geht ebenfalls um die Frage, wie viel es bedeutet, Freunde und Familie zu haben - auch wenn dies heißt, ab und zu unglücklich zu sein und zu leiden.Ich fand die Sprecherin dieses Hörbuches sehr gut und konnte das Englisch überraschen flüssig und ohne weitere Probleme verstehen, was natürlich ebenso an dem Vokabular der Autorin liegt. "You can't be happy, unless you'er unhappy sometimes"

Spannende Dystopie nicht nur über Liebe...

The best paranormal ya series that came my way in a long time.
The world in which this trilogy is set is intriuging and frightening at the same time.
Delirium is set in a future world where Love is nothing more than a sickness that needs to be eleminated. In order to get rid of the disease and the Diseased the world is split in The CURED,those people that alraedy have been 'fixed' by a medical procedure that strips away the capability to feel emotions that give us happieness,an the UNCUREDS,which is everyone under the age of 18 and the so called sympathizers and ivalids who fight the system.

People are beeing watched,persecuted and killed for the tinyest sign of unfit behaviour. There is no freedom of speech or freedom in general at all within the walls of a city.
The heroine in this book is starting to question the system when she meets Alex and falls in love with him.
The story is touching and very well read.
A must read for everyone who is enjoying a smart and touching love story.

Brilliant book!

Somehow reminded me of "1984"

Definitely worth reading/listening.

I just wished to be more dragged into the story emotionally and I don't like repetitions of exactly the same sentences...

Next episode already downloaded and read/heard :)

Great reader and story
