I’ve started dreaming of Portland again. Like a monster from one of the ghost stories we used to tell as kids, the past has been finding its way in. It bubbles up through the cracks when I’m not paying attention, and pulls at me with greedy fingers.
This is what they warned me about for all those years: the heavy weight in my chest, the nightmare-fragments that follow me even in waking life.
I warned you, Aunt Carol says in my head.
We told you, Rachel says…

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.
Thrilling and thought-provoking . . . Fast paced and consistently poignant, this tale quickly becomes hypnotically addictive.
Prepare to become completely absorbed.
Requiem sucked me in from page one and spat me back out again on the last page...Oliver has a way of writing about love that makes you sigh out loud, clutch your heart, and do other things that boys think girls do when they fall head over heels for someone.
Most of all I loved the little surprises that popped up every few chapters that made the storyline so exciting and un-put-downable! It had a fantastic storyline and was a truly fantastic finale but I am very sad to see this trilogy end!
Breath-taking and highly anticipated.... Hold on to your seat, grip Requiem tight, and prepare yourself to be whisked away by Lauren Oliver's flawless writing...
Requiem was action-packed from start to finish... It was well and truly one hell of a ride, and I can't wait to see what Oliver starts working on next
Amazing, unputdownable!
Fast paced and consistently poignant, this tale quickly becomes hypnotically addictive ... A thoughtful, exciting and moving story that reminds us just how important love is. Devour it, then go and give all your friends a big hug.
A dystopian Romeo and Juliet story that deserves to be as massive as Twilight.
In the same mode as Suzanne Collins in her Hunger Games trilogy, Oliver, too, posits a feisty, physically able heroine, giving as good as she gets, in a fast-paced YA thriller: this trend is a welcome one.
The new Hunger Games . . . We loved the first two books, and spring sees the publication of the final instalment . . . With a movie trilogy in the pipeline too, you'd better get reading!
We're big fans of Lauren Oliver and this is the emotionally charged follow-up to last year's futuristic love story DELIRIUM. With echoes of Brave New World, we catch up with young heroine Lena as she attempts to survive in the dangerous Wilds . . . Now we just have to wait for the final episode in the trilogy.
Oliver is a considerably better writer than the Twilight creator - an adept and occasionally courageous storyteller who can shock and awe with a well-placed twist.

I have loved the Delirium series from the minute I laid my hands on the first book and since enduring the ending of Pandemonium, I have been desperate to get my hands on the final instalment... I loved this book! It was a fitting end to the trilogy and I can't wait for you all to get your hands on a copy... A perfect ending to a perfect series!
Requiem has everything we could ask for, more drama and tension, love interests, and getting to spend time with some familiar faces. Each new page, then chapter, brought something new to this adventure... a sudden turn in the path that revealed another secret.
It has been a long time since a book has had such an impact on me as Lauren Oliver's Delirium did... As Delirium swept me off my feet, and Pandemonium raised so many questions, Requiem sucked me in from page one and spat me back out again on the last page, a shell of a woman...
I have loved the Delirium series from the minute I laid my hands on the first book... A perfect ending to a perfect series!
Lauren Oliver manages to break my heart every time with the endings to her books... a moving and beautiful conclusion.
'Requiem is the fantastic, thrilling denouement to the Delirium series. Although Lauren Oliver ends her fantastically imagined, dystopian trilogy on an uncertain cliffhanger, I can't imagine that the book could have been better finished in a more finite way... One thing is for sure. If you haven't read this fascinating, compulsive, tension-filled trilogy, make sure you pick it up and decide for yourself. Delirium, Pandemonium and Requiem constitute one of the best trilogies I've read in years.'
The final book of this brilliant trilogy... Fantastically tense... Clear a chunk of your diary; you'll be as gripped as you were by The Hunger Games. We love this
Full of the beautiful writing that I've come to expect from Lauren Oliver... If you're a fan of this series then you won't want to miss this one
An absolutely stunning read, this conclusion to Lauren Oliver's Delirium trilogy is the best in the series and makes the set of books a massive recommendation
Beautifully written, thoughtful, intriguing and exciting, Requiem is a stunning finale to the Delirium trilogy... Requiem deals in shattered dreams, broken hearts and forgotten friendships, but this book also offers hope and it teaches that what once was held dear can never be truly lost. A book that is redemptive and hopeful in nature despite lives lost and hearts ruined Requiem teaches us to remain true to ourselves and to others and to never stop fighting for what we believe in
Crackling with tension, Lauren Oliver's follow up to DELIRIUM is as whip smart and addictive as her dystopian debut.

[T]he final chapters of Lena Haloway's journey will have readers breathlessly turning the pages . . . A dystopian tour de force.

This final instalment is packed full of action, love triangles, drama and detection... The character development is brilliant and the writing is fast paced so that you can't put it down... a fantastic book.
There's plenty of action as well as heart-searching in this exciting finale, which Oliver controls with intricate skill and narrates in characteristically fluent style

I read it in exactly one sitting, didn't put it down ... Fast-paced and exciting... It had a fantastic storyline and was a truly fantastic finale but I am very sad to see this trilogy end!
Requiem is as beautifully written as you would expect of a novel by Oliver, but this time round, I noticed it more... inspiring, empowering, motivating. But that's true of the whole book, really, the whole series. Fighting for what you believe in, fighting for your right to freedom, fighting for love. Requiem has finished off a beautiful trilogy that will forever have a place in my heart as one of my favourites. Lauren Oliver, I have two words for you: thank you.
