This eventually led our parents to resign themselves to the fact that their children would never be lawyers, doctors, or even gainfully employed." Career and novels ![]() inadvertently aided and abetted in my mission by my older sister, Lizzie, who pursued a Ph.D. However, writing was not Oliver's only passion she also enjoyed taking ballet, drawing, painting, making collages, singing, acting, experimenting with cooking, and (as she put it), "(trying) to spend my time being as creative and useless as possible."Īfter finishing high school and moving on to the University of Chicago, Oliver revealed, "I continued to be as impractical as possible by majoring in philosophy and literature. As a child, after finishing a book, I would continue to write a sequel for its characters, because I did not want to have to give them up." Īs she continued in her writing, Oliver eventually made the switch to writing her own stories and characters, with some success. ![]() She was both an avid reader and writer: "I come from a family of writers, and so have always (mistakenly) believed that spending hours in front of the computer every day, mulling over the difference between 'chortling: and 'chuckling' is normal.

Why? It would be great if there's a part on a deranged government leader who was hurt really badly in love or something that would shed light to why love is so bad.Lauren Oliver (born Laura Suzanne Schechter November 8, 1982) is an American author of numerous young adult novels including Panic the Delirium trilogy: Delirium, Pandemonium, and Requiem and Before I Fall, which became a major motion picture in 2017. The plot seems exciting but I don't see the reason behind the whole love is a disease thing. Lauren Oliver is a talented writer with a lyrical, beautiful style of writing but the story development is simply too draggy. more to pandemonium and possibly requiem too. Review 2: I felt so bad when I had to skim through delirium and now I've got to do the same. I have heard the final book has an open ending, glad I'm prepared for that before I jump in. Otherwise, Lauren Oliver writes an incredibly thrilling and action packed story with interesting characters. I wonder if it played off better in the paper book than it did in audio format? It's a shame that in a series where the characters are fighting for the right to experience love (in a dystopian future where love is a sickness that is forcibly "cured" at age 18) the romances are the weakest elements of the series. Review 1: I'm knocking a star off of the second book's review because one element of the storyline was just so terrible it was distracting from an otherwise excellent story.
