Charms in Requiem

Requiem (Delirium #3) by Lauren Oliver, 391 pages

"But after the cure, a wall came down inside me. Now I see that yes, I am quiet simply and inarguably beautiful. I also no longer care."

"Freedom is exhausting."

"How can someone have the power to shatter you to dust -- and also make you feel so whole?"

"This is what amazes me: that people are new every day. That they are never the same. You must invent them, and they must invent themselves, too."

"Only people who have something to hide make a fuss about privacy."

"He who jumps may fall, but he may also fly."

Review with Spoilers

The final book in the trilogy, Requiem was exceedingly slow. The love triangle between Lena, Julian and Alex took up too much space, and the overthrowing of the government was squeezed into 4 chapters. The ending was very vague. I would have liked to know what Julian felt and if the cured and the uncured lived together after the wall came down. Nevertheless, an easy-read and satisfying if you are interested in the dystopian young adult genre.
