Oh, I read this when it was called [b:Uglies 24770 Uglies (Uglies, #1) Scott Westerfeld http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1296159834s/24770.jpg 2895388]. Zing!! Not that Oliver stole from Westerfeld or anything, and they do have different dystopian concepts (this one cures “love”, his cures “ugliness”) but they had a similar feel. But Uglies was much faster-paced and more intense and I just kept comparing Delirium to it and had a hard time getting into it. Still, it's pretty well-written and I really liked the “religion” created within it, especially the quotes from the new Bible. But if you're only going to read one new YA dystopia, well, I'd say make it Uglies.
