Delirium
Share This Article
Siamo in un futuro non precisato, e gli Stati Uniti si sono chiusi: rispetto al resto del mondo e dentro a sè stessi. Mura elettrizzate circondano le città, in cui vige la legge marziale per sconfiggere l’amor deliria nervosa, malattia che secondo i vertici del mondo della scienza per troppo tempo ha contaminato il mondo intero.
I sintomi? Battito accelerato, sbalzi d’umore, voglia di avere un contatto fisico con l’altro. Ma gli scienziati hanno trovato un modo per sconfiggere l’amore (perchè è di questo che ovviamente si tratta) e tutto ciò che comporta: una cura, che dal diciottesimo anno d’età rende immuni da qualsiasi emozione troppo forte.
Lena crede ciecamente a tutto quello che le è stato da sempre insegnato, fino a che una serie di eventi iniziano a mettere in dubbio la realtà che le sta intorno. E’ veramente giusto essere costretti a non provare più niente? E’ così pericolosa questa malattia? Dov’è finito il libero arbitrio?
Vista la mole di recensioni estremamente entusiastiche su Goodreads penso di essermi avvicinata a questo libro con parecchi pregiudizi.. capita spesso che un romanzo sia osannato solo perchè ha avuto una grande pubblicità negli USA e i primi lettori ne hanno parlato bene. (Lo stesso discorso se ricordate l’avevo fatto anche per Perfect Chemistry di Simone Elkeles). La spinta però me l’ha data la recensione di Alessia, che solitamente è sempre molto critica e precisa.
Tutta questa premessa per arrivare al mio giudizio sul libro: non fatevi ingannare da chi l’ha commentato e come. Non è un libro per ragazzine, un chick lit o una storiella leggera tutta sole-cuore-amore. E’ un romanzo che ti conquista capitolo dopo capitolo, pieno di passione e colpi di scena, scene romantiche intervallate da episodi tragici, ma che soprattutto riesce a far pensare. Se ci trovassimo nella condizione di Lena, vorremmo farci curare o meno? Quante volte dopo che qualcuno c’ha spezzato il cuore abbiamo desiderato non sentire più nulla?
Quesiti che rimangono in sospeso fino alla conclusione del libro. Finale che invece del solito happy ending è come il lancio di una bomba, un ultimo colpo di scena. Perchè Delirium è solo il primo volume di una trilogia, e se i nostri gusti almeno un poco si assomigliano non potrete aspettare nemmeno un giorno prima di leggerne il seguito.
The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and
when you don’t.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
