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. -- Heat on DELIRIUM
A dystopian Romeo and Juliet story that deserves to be as massive as Twilight. -- Stylist on DELIRIUM
Amazing, unputdownable! -- Grazia on DELIRIUM
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. -- Bella on PANDEMONIUM
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. -- Independent on Sunday on PANDEMONIUM

Prepare to become completely absorbed. * Glamour on PANDEMONIUM *
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. * Independent on PANDEMONIUM *

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. * Glamour Book Club *

'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.' * onceuponabookcase.co.uk *

'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.' * keepcalmandreadabook.wordpress.com *
'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' * daisychainbookreviews.blogspot *
