The most dangerous sicknesses are those that make us believe we are
well.
- Proverb 42, The Book Of Shhh
Well. I was warned. I
waited months, trying to avoid reading this book. But finally, one afternoon,
curiosity got the better of me.
I'm pretty sure authors
need to start giving warnings, in their foreword. Talking about foreword,
Lauren Oliver, the author of the book 'Delirium',
has a beautiful one.
"For all the people who have infected
me with
amor deliria
nervosa in the past --
you know who you are.
For the people who will infect me in the
future -
I can't wait to see who you'll be.
And in both cases:
Thank you."
From that very foreword, I knew I was in for a
ride that was going to hurt, but love all the way. (Go away, you 50 Shades of Grey fanatics. That was a purely innocent sentence.)
On to the book review!
How convenient would it
be to be administered an injection, that calmed your emotions down to the point
where you're permanently in Zen Mode?
