** spoiler alert ** the book its a miniHistory about pandemonium, seen from the point of view of Alex, its emotional for my, and i liked, but is a short history does not contain much.

** spoiler alert ** I liked this book because since the first book, I always liked him. I loved the set up of it, and the way in which we got the story of how exactly he survived, and his escape from the Crypts. When Alex sacrificed himself to save Lena, he thought he was committing himself to certain death, but what he got was almost worse. He got Imprisoned and tortured by the guards, which that’s just gruesome what they did to him back there! But thank God he was able to live on and escape!!! And also while in there, his mind forces him to relive a past he would rather forget. The past live that he didn’t tell Lena of because he didn’t want her to think he was a monster. Or maybe those thoughts were the ones that haunt him which I get because that is something all humans experience, you know? Regret. I wish that would have been explained a little more! I’m sure if him and Lena had had more TIME to grow as a couple , Lena would have known this and she would have eased his sorrows. Darn it , It was just way too short! Another thing I loved was his way of thinking and I just wish that we could have spent more time in his head because In Delirium we hardly get a look into Alex's past. his character is just shown as the perfect, beautiful and romantic person who any reader would instantly like, but this one shows a completely different side of him! None the less, we see that his love for Lena never wavers and the Alex we know and fell in love with in Delirium still exists and was true love!! And that is what gets him through this!! Love and Hope!!! Hope that he finds his forever love Lena one more time!! Overall, it was great reading this, and just know about his whereabouts and to get in his mind for the ever last time. Definitely recommend!!!

Otro libro que amé totalmente aunque me hubiera gustado más que hablaran sobre la parte en que Alex vuelve a ver a Lena después de todo ese tiempo en que ninguno sabía que había pasado con el otro, pero sin duda el libro estuvo excelente como todos los demás de Lauren :)
