Lauren Oliver novellas

Annabel (Delirium #0.5) by Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publish Date:  December 26, 2012
ebook
Pages: 50
ISBN# 978-0062237385


The story of Lena's mom goes between when she was a rebellious teen and when she's imprisoned in the Crypts.  I think this gives us vital information on Annabel and shows how strong love can be.  It was amazing how she met her husband!



Hana (Delirium #1.5) by Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publish Date:  December 19, 2011
ebook
Pages: 65
ISBN# 978-0062124364


Hana seems carefree, happy and rebellious when you see her from Lena's point of view.  When you read Hana's story, it changes.  Hana is scared and confused.  She's definitely rebellious, but she's scared doing it.  Lena didn't know half of what Hana was up to!  The absolute best part?  The very last paragraph.


Raven (Delirium #2.5) by Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publish Date:  March 5, 2013
ebook
Pages: 50
ISBN# 978-0062267771

This novella also goes between now and then - when Raven escaped to the wilds and now in the resistance.  How she ended up in the Wilds is just crazy! This, to me, was the most emotional story.  Raven keeps everyone on track and never lets on how emotionally fragile she is.  It really didn't help that I read this one AFTER the entire series and so knew what happened to her later.  I think I really did like Raven best.
