First PANDEMONIUM Summary Revealed!
11:39 PM Posted by Bonnie @ A Backwards Story
HarperCollins released its Winter 2012 catalog today.Why should you care?
The synopsis for PANDEMONIUM is finally here:
Lauren Oliver captivated readers with DELIRIUM, the first book in a thrilling dystopian trilogy in which Lena Haloway dared to fall in love with Alex and escape the cure, the government-mandated procedure that renders a person immune to the disease of love. Lena and Alex staked their lives on leaving their oppressive society, but only Lena broke free.
PANDEMONIUM continues Lena’s gripping story. After escaping from Portland, Maine, Lena makes it to the Wilds and becomes part of an Invalid community, where she transforms herself into a warrior for the resistance. A future without Alex is unimaginable, but Lena pushes forward and fights, both for him and for a world in which love is no longer considered a disease. Swept up in a volatile mix of revolutionaries and counterinsurgents, Lena struggles to survive—and wonders if she may be falling in love again.
Full of danger, forbidden romance, and exquisite writing, Lauren Oliver’s sequel to Delirium races forward at a breathtaking pace and is sure to appeal to fans who crave the high-stakes action of THE HUNGER GAMES and the bittersweet love story of ROMEO AND JULIET.
The only bad news? The Strict on Sale Street Date is currently set for March 6, 2012, not February like we all thought. That’s an extra month of waiting for PANDEMONIUM!
The cover has yet to be revealed, but DELIRIOUSLY FALLING will reveal it to you as soon as it’s available, so keep checking back!

Oh, goodness. The wait for Pandemonium is going to be a killer. Thanks for sharing the description! :-) (I need to get cracking on a new song now...)

Am I reading correctly? Will Pandemonium introduce us to a love triangle? :(
Or maybe Alex is really gone? :'(

@DJ: Yes, make a new song! We'd love to hear it!
@busbedhe-v: Don't think that! Alex WILL come back, he has to! *sobs*
The wait for Pandemonium is killing me, man.
June 28, 2011 at 12:37 AM
@Ella Press: A part of me is certain he'll come back but the thing I don't like about the summary is that it gives me the feeling about an upcoming love triangle and I am not a fan of them.
June 28, 2011 at 1:11 AM
Oh Em Gee!! I don't think I've ever been THIS ANXIOUS for a book release. How am I supposed to survive? March is like soo far away xD
And Alex *IS* going to be okay. That's just non optional.
June 28, 2011 at 5:15 AM
Ah exciting... but what does it mean for Alex? I hope he isn't dead...
June 28, 2011 at 8:17 AM
@busbedhe-v: Yeah, I'm not a fan of love triangles either, but coming from Lauren, I bet that it's a wonderfully written one (if there even is one in Pandemonium).
@prettybooks: We ALL hope he isn't dead! *crosses fingers*
June 28, 2011 at 5:21 PM
Alex better come back! I totally fell in love with him!!
June 28, 2011 at 7:01 PM
@Vicky: Didn't we all? *swoon*
June 28, 2011 at 9:19 PM
I hope Lena doesn't meet some one else!!!
June 29, 2011 at 8:33 PM
im dieing for this book to come out.....and i really hope that Alex is.not.dead...
June 30, 2011 at 12:10 AM
Glad I'm not the only one waiting for the return of Alex!
July 25, 2011 at 6:24 PM
Alex HAS to be alive, and he HAS to come back! If Lena falls in love with someone else I will cry.
August 21, 2011 at 9:40 PM
I really hope Alex is still alive! If he isn't, I'm totally not gonna read the book. Besides, what kind of a let down would that be?? Lauren Oliver basically has no choice but to let him live!
October 26, 2011 at 2:48 AM
omg, if there is a love trinagle, i will SCREAM! nononononononoooo!!!!!!!! she loves ALEX- bad lena, bad lena- go find alex, and mkae sure that he isn't DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg, im so excited, but im so worried that something terrible will happen in it (a, alex is dead, b, he isn't, but lens doesn't want him anyway, c, hana dies)
I'M SO AFRAID THAT HE IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 26, 2011 at 2:48 AM
*... that's lena, not 'lens'
November 18, 2011 at 10:16 AM
alex dies
November 23, 2011 at 12:39 AM
i strongly dislike love triangles.
cant anyone just love one person?
i sort of dont even want to read the second book
it might just be better to leave it at the fact that maybe Alex is alive and i'll pretend that he breaks out and finds her :)
December 7, 2011 at 12:12 AM
Ih my gosh!!!!!!!!!!! I want to read it sooooooooo badly!!!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!!!! :( :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 7, 2011 at 10:01 PM
I cant wait for Pandemonium to come out. I preordered it and everything!!! I cant believe shes gonna fall in love again. Alex cant be dead though!!!!! I hope he comes back!!!
December 8, 2011 at 10:25 PM
Omg!!!!! she cant fall in love with anyone else but alex!!!! i hope alex isnt dead he comes back and she falls in love with him he sooooooo AWESOME!!!SO IS LENA!!!! dont be dead alex
December 11, 2011 at 8:32 PM
If Alex does not come back I am prepared to issue a protest. She can't kill him off like that and have Lena fall in love with someone else, she just can't!!
December 12, 2011 at 10:22 PM
O you guys are in for such a big surprise i read it and it is one of the best books ever!!!!
December 12, 2011 at 10:23 PM
ALEX DOESNT DIE HE COMES BACK WHILE LENA IS MAKIN OUT WITH ANOTHER GUY :P
December 28, 2011 at 1:41 PM
Damn. I am 101% sure that the author wouldn't let Alex be gone just like that. I mean, what's the thrill in that? And according to the summary, there WILL be a love-triangle. I think Pandemonium will be one roller coaster book once it's released and I just can't really wait for it!
Team Alex. <3 ;)
December 28, 2011 at 2:44 PM
Is alex really gone??!!??!?
December 29, 2011 at 11:24 AM
Alex cannot be gone because i swear to god if he is im sueing. Syke, but still, i fell in love with alex.
I totally agree, team alex forever<3
May 12, 2012 at 12:10 AM
Same. A love triangle is just going to ruin everything.
May 14, 2012 at 1:49 AM
i don't want to read if lena is going to fall in love with someone else. she needs to go find alex because they belong together!!!
July 19, 2012 at 9:24 PM
I just finished reading Delirium, I swear, and I am online reserving Pandemonium at my local library. LOL! If she falls for someone else I will die of depression. I honestly fell for Alex right along with Lena.
