PANDEMONIUM
by Lauren Oliver
Expected publication: February 28th 2012 by HarperCollins
Goodreads Blurb:
I’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school, push,
push, push,
like Raven taught me to do.The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,behind a wall of smoke and flame.
Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.
In the past, I've been a bit tough on Lauren Oliver. With the exception of Liesl & Po (which I positively LOVED), I've struggled with the way she ends her books. BEFORE I FALL was the hardest for me in terms of resolution. I loved DELIRIUM, but the ending killed me. Killed me.

Awesome giveaway, bff. I love PANDEMONIUM. And you're right. Every book she writes gets more fabulouser (my new word I say around the house to drive everyone crazy) than the last. She is made of awesome. :-)
I haven't read any of her books, but I keep meaning to pick up one. Although bad endings make me crazy, so I'm not sure now.
I still haven't read Delirium, so don't enter me, but drop by my blog for an awesome surprise!
I SO love Lauren Oliver and can't wait to read Pandemonium. Thanks for offering your ARC as a giveaway.
I would love to win this book!! Thanks for the giveaway!

I like the endings to be resolved with hope too - although I'm a big fan of some great books that end in other ways too!
sure i'm in!

I loved Liesl and Po, too. Delirium is on my bookshelf, waiting to be read.
Oh I'm desperate to read this!
The ending of DELIRIUM killed me too! I so want to get my hands on this arc!
I have to admit that I've not read anything by Lauren Oliver. Shannon, thanks for sharing your review of PANDEMONIUM. The book sounds intriguing.

I would love to win this. It's about time I get to read Delirium too. :)
I wasn't crazy about DELIRIUM either. The ending didn't bother me, but I found the pacing of the book a bit off. It felt long, and slow and the romance was tepid. BUT I still want to read PANDEMONIUM!
Before I Fall and Delirium are two of my favorite books, I just love Lauren's writing! I have yet to read Liesl & Po, but I will soon. I have been waiting a year for Pandemonium and am beyond desperate to finally read it. Thank you for the opportunity!!!

I can't wait to read this book. I really tried to get a copy of the ARC at ALA mid winter, but even as a librarian I was shut out.
