I just finished reading requiem and all i could say is.. WHAT THE FVCK?! This book gave me so much feels. It made me angry, happy, intense and in love at the same time. One thing about Lauren Oliver is that when you start to read one of her novels you would find yourself finishing it despite the time (i started reading it around 2AM and finished by 6AM). The book is actually good, it’s just that i don’t feel satisfied with the ending. I didn’t get to know what happens next to the characters specially for Lena, Alex, Julian and Hana. Anyhoo.. here are some of my favorite lines from the book: 1. The past has been finding its way in. -Lena 2. It’s the first time I’ve felt truly happy in days. -Lena 3. …. strained conversation and silence. -Lena 4. …caught between loyalties and desires. -Hana 5. There are questions he is forcing himself not to ask, and things he is struggling to say. -Lena 6. Maybe they’re right. Maybe we are driven crazy by our feeling. -Lena 7. We are free to choose. We are even free to choose the wrong the wrong thing. -Lena 8. I repeat his name like a prayer, like a magic spell that will make everything okay again. -Lena 9. He stands there with me and murmurs into my hair and kisses me the top of my head and lets me cry over losing another boy, a boy I loved better. -Lena 10. Freedom is exhausting. -Lena 11. I feel a flash of grief so intense it almost makes me cry out: not for what i lost, but for the chances i missed. -Lena 12. How can someone have the power to shatter you to dust - and also to make you feel so whole? -Hana 13. This is what amazes me: the people are new everyday. That they are never the same. -Lena 14. I chose to make my place with you. No I have to earn it. -Julian 15. We were tired of being told what to choose. -Summer 16. That’s what people do in a disordered world, a world of freedom and choice: They leave when they want. They disappear, they come back, they leave again. And you are left to pick up the pieces on your own. -Lena 17. There are some losses we never get over. -Annabelle 18. This is what we are made for: promises, pledges and sworn oaths of obedience. -Hana 19. We wanted the freedom to love. We wanted the freedom to choose. Now we have to fight for it. -Lena Now that I’m bidding goodbye to the Delirium trilogy… I just want to say that Lauren Oliver is an Evil Author. She will make you suffer for reading her evil-genious books. She will always leave you hanging….. and will make you crave for more. I can’t wait for your next book good witch! ;)

What i really enjoyed about this book is that I got to see the story of Emma and Josh. I loved how the back story between these two characters were incorporated into the story, and how i got to watch their relationship develop, both good and bad. I think the reason why I read through this book was that i wanted to know how it would all end. I needed to know how things were going to turn out. And i wanted to see just how much trouble Emma would cause by her need for happiness and perfection in her future. Anyhoo.. here are some of my favorite lines from the book: 1. It was love because it was worth it. -Kellan 2. She’s a Mercury, with the full hotness of the sun beating down on her. I’m a Pluto. -Josh 3. But in trying to protect us, I ended up losing him anyway. -Emma 4. I didn’t need to. My stupid face did all the talking. -Josh 5. When the right moment appears, the key is not to let it pass. -Dave 6. What if it feels like the perfect moment is happening, but i’m misreading things? -Josh 7. The future seems so fragile. -Josh 8. Even if I try to do everything right, the ripple effect is unavoidable. -Josh 9. It feels great to plan your life when you believe everything can turn out fine. But what if you’re shown, again and again, how little control you have over anything? -Emma 10. Just thinking differently can change everything. -Emma 11. If we don’t stop something bad from happening, it’ll keep spreading until it’s nearly impossible to do anything about it. -Tyson’s Dad 12. Cody: Do you realise that you’re being a freak?! Emma: And yet you have no idea that you’re a dick. 13. I’ve always protected myself when it comes to love. And maybe that’s the problem. By not letting myself get hurt now, it ripples into much bigger pain later. -Emma 14. Unfortunately, being nice doesn’t mean you get everything you want. -Sydney
