SM's big bet for the Sant Jordi and one of those books that appear overnight in the forums, news and blogs bombing readers. At the bookstore we received a editorial package with just a sheet of advertising reminding us that in a couple of days would be in bookstores the novel by Lauren Oliver. It organizes the most challenging I guess you've heard many opinions and appear before the novel reaches bookstores. And all for the first installment of a science fiction novel of an unknown author whose first book went so unnoticed (words of the publisher). Novel comes to the library, I took it home, read it and asked me. Is it worth so much noise Delirium? Yes .. and no.

At an unspecified future, after some indeterminate war. At last the government has a cure for this disease common call is love. At last the suffering, palpitations, suicidal thoughts, lack of appetite, etc.. has its cure. The inhabitants of cities are undergoing a simple operation to turn 18 and stop feeling. Everything is quiet and everything becomes simple. Lena is looking forward to the day of operation for the cure and can start life with a partner assigned. But, of course, the appearance of a boy, the strange behavior of her best friend and going slowly discovering his family's hidden secrets Lena will reconsider his whole life and everything she believed. Delirium

sign up, and jumping all distances in terms of quality and transcendence, in the tradition of the holy trinity of dystopias antisentimentales: 1984 , Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World . Most explicit references are made (the government's control, the rewriting of history, the three laws paradoxical transcendence of poetry, the fear of wild animals, etc.) And are assumed as background and inspiration. Perhaps too, because one of the drawbacks I put Oliver's novel is that I just think the whole world. I think a decoration rather than a reality. I need explanation. I need history. How, when and why. I assume and hope that in the next parts of the saga explain better in this new society and how it arose. There are flashes and small references, but as a reader I need a little more beer.

But I liked this novel? Yes, ma non troppo . Explained. Delirium think one of the best juvenile novels I've read so far this year, but I can not declare total fan and consider this novel a work almost perfect as I have read elsewhere. I think it is brilliant parts, but that falls somewhere in excess and, in my opinion, some ingenuity. I justify my answer. Best of Delirium is how Oliver has created, shaped and launched the character Lena. Love and care. We find a well-wrought characters, told with love and care. Its evolution over the pages is consistent and the author presents a contradictory girl, frightened, confused and living. No longer a kind of character we're used to (girl modosita and plain little family secret that makes it different, etc.), But it worked. Likewise, her best friend Hana escapes the local color that will arise in other novels the "Best of ..." and also stands as a unique character with whom the reader empathizes. The figures are well-treated side, good counterpoint to the protagonist. The boy ... well ... is perhaps the worst character. Too perfect, much as usual. Seamless and lifeless.

Lauren Oliver's style is unhurried, elegant and effective. Set the mood and I am grateful to be an author who takes the time to introduce the characters and action, which does not fall into the traps of constant speed and fast action. Yes, forty pages would not have done less damage to this novel as it falls into some repetition and acknowledge that there are chapters that marched through my eyes as I mentally went over the shopping list.

But ... something squeaks ... I guess it's a sentimental excess or a peak of emotion that seeks Oliver crebilidad crashing my reader. It's hard to talk about hassle-free parts of the novel, but the moment Montecristo or abuse of the word love . I squeak. I do see the seams of the novel. I get the impression of being artifacts of great sentimental manipulation of a large trap. I know that literature is a lie and writers puppeteers, but I demand that you do not see those traps. And parts of me seem Delirium echos with the sole purpose of exciting the reader, not because the novel or story really demands it. Search excessively obvious emotion, impact. As your final images. Too ... so calm the whole novel and the ending is too extreme ... to lead to crying, not narrative logic. I do not find credible. I think the whole issue of love, removal, etc.. And being the center of the novel, the same center me swallow hard.

prefer talks on the beach, racing with his best friend and reading poems. The excitement is just, the sentiments, true and honest story.
