The first book in Lauren Oliver's New York Times bestselling trilogy about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose.

In an alternate United States, love has been declared a dangerous disease, and the government forces everyone who reaches eighteen to have a procedure called the Cure. Living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in Portland, Maine, Lena Haloway is very much looking forward to being cured and living a safe, predictable life. She watched love destroy her mother and isn't about to make the same mistake.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena meets enigmatic Alex, a boy from the Wilds who lives under the government's radar. What will happen if they do the unthinkable and fall in love?

Portrait

Lauren Oliver

Lauren  Oliver  is the cofounder of media and content development company Glasstown Entertainment, where she serves as the President of Production.

She is also the New York Times bestselling author of the YA novels Replica, Vanishing Girls, Panic, and the Delirium trilogy: Delirium, Pandemonium, and Requiem, which have been translated into more than thirty languages. The film rights to both Replica and  Lauren's bestselling first novel, Before I Fall, were acquired by Awesomeness Films. Before I Fall was adapted into a major motion picture starring Zoey Deutch. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2017, garnering a wide release from Open Road Films that year.

Oliver is a 2012 E. B. White Read-Aloud Award nominee for her middle-grade novel  Liesl & Po, as well as author of the middle-grade fantasy novel  The Spindlers and The Curiosity House series, co-written with H. C. Chester.   She has written one novel for adults, Rooms.

Oliver co-founded Glasstown Entertainment with poet and author Lexa Hillyer. Since 2010, the company has developed and sold more than fifty-five novels for adults, young adults, and middle-grade readers. Some of its recent titles include the New York Times bestseller Everless, by Sara Holland; the critically acclaimed Bonfire, authored by the actress Krysten Ritter; and The Hunger by Alma Katsu, which received multiple starred reviews and was praised by Stephen King as “ disturbing, hard to put down” and “ not recommended… after dark. ”

Oliver is a narrative consultant for Illumination Entertainment and is writing features and TV shows for a number of production companies and studios.

Oliver received an academic scholarship to the University of Chicago, where she was elected Phi Beta Kappa. She received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from New York University.

Pressestimmen

"In [Oliver's] dystopian America, love has been outlawed as the life-threatening source of all discord. Lena's gradual awakening is set against a convincing backdrop of totalitarian horror. The abrupt ending leaves enough unanswered questions to set breathless readers up for volume two of this trilogy." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Strong characters, a vivid portrait of the lives of teens in a repressive society, and nagging questions that can be applied to our world today make this book especially compelling and discussable." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"Oliver's follow-up to her smash debut, Before I Fall (2010), is another deft blend of realism and fantasy. . . the book never loses its A Clockwork Orange-style bite regarding safety versus choice." - Booklist

"In a thick climate of fear, Oliver spins out a suspenseful story of awakening and resistance with true love at its core." - The Horn Book

"Oliver's deeply emotional and incredibly well-honed prose commands the readers' attention and captures their hearts. With a pulse-pounding tempo and unforeseen twists and turns, Lauren Oliver has opened the door on a fantastic new series; the second book can't come soon enough." - New York Journal of Books

Praise for Before I Fall: "Oliver's debut novel is raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful. . . . readers will love Samantha best as she hurtles toward an end as brave as it is heartbreaking." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for Before I Fall: "Samantha's attempts to save her life and right the wrongs she has caused are precisely what will draw readers into this complex story and keep them turning pages until Sam succeeds in living her last day the right way." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (Starred Review)

Praise for Before I Fall: "Oliver, in a pitch-perfect teen voice, explores the power we have to affect the people around us in this intensely believable first novel. . . This is a compelling book with a powerful message and should not be missed." - ALA Booklist

Praise for Before I Fall: "This story races forward, twisting in a new direction every few pages, its characters spinning my emotions from affection to frustration, anger to compassion. You'll have no choice but to tear through this book!" - Jay Asher, author of the New York Times bestseller Thirteen Reasons Why

Praise for Before I Fall: "Before I Fall is smart, complex, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Lauren Oliver has written an extraordinary debut novel about what it means to live-and die." - Carolyn Mackler, author of Tangled and The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things, a Printz Honor book

LovelyBooks-BewertungVon Buchbiene89 am 22.04.2022
Ein Buch, dass einen packt, viele spannende Erlebnisse und ein schöner Erzählfluss, für mich ein echtes Herzensbuch
LovelyBooks-BewertungVon marimirl am 28.03.2012
Ich kann nicht wirklich sagen, ob ich das Buch mochte oder nicht. Ich denke, ich entscheide das, während ich diese Rezi schreibe. In diesem Fall ist der wichtigste Punkt für mich der Schreibstil. Ich habe oft gelesen, dass vielen der Stil sehr gut gefallen hat, aber der Inhalt weniger. Für mich trifft das nicht zu. Lauren Oliver schreibt sehr detailliert, sie beschreibt viel und man könnte fast sagen, ihre Sprache ist auf eine Art poetisch. Das klingt gut, aber ich bin kein Fan davon. Mir ist oft aufgefallen, dass ich begonnen habe, Stellen nur zu überfliegen weil sie für die Story nicht wichtig waren. Ich denke, das Buch wäre um einiges dünner, wenn die Autorin nicht so viel beschreiben würde. So ist das Buch etwas langwierig. Abgesehen von diesem großen Kritikpunkt (ich denke, das kostet mal eine Ratte) mochte ich das Buch. Der Inhalt war okay, aber Überraschungen blieben aus. Für mich als Leser war es sehr bald klar, was passieren wird ¿ vielleicht weil ich in letzter Zeit viele Dystopien gelesen habe, aber ich glaube man muss nicht sonderlich intelligent sein, um das Ende nach wenigen Kapiteln vorherzusehen. Also muss ich eine weitere Ratte abziehen. Die Idee, Liebe wäre eine Krankheit, ist gut, aber die Autorin könnte es besser gelöst haben. Aber um fair zu sein, muss ich erwähnen, dass ich Matched ein paar Tage zuvor gelesen hatte und die Idee, Partner von der Regierung zugewiesen zu bekommen, ist sehr ähnlich. Vielleicht brauche ich einfach eine Pause von dieser Art von Büchern. Wie auch immer, ich denke, ich werde die Serie weiterlesen, weil ich die Idee mochte, aber es ist nicht von höchster Priorität.
