Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-02 00:00:00 Elizabeth Walters Delirious is billed as a thriller- but so much more- A very touching and affecting portrait of the effect mental illness has on a family- especially two brothers and how they come to understand each other under very difficult circumstances- so a great thriller indeed - but also a coming of age aspect too. David Palmer is a superb writer. The character of Charlie evolves so very much over the course of this superb book. The reader's understanding of the mentally ill and the challenges they face- not just from their illness but from the perceptions of others is expressed with grace and great skill. The thriller aspect of Delirious is gripping and coupled with the mystery inherent in the plot- David Palmer has hit a grand slam at his very first time at bat!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-19 00:00:00 Mitzi Shepherd I had a hard time reading this book. It is an excellently crafted thriller. It has a unique set up, but one that is particularly personal to me. I am not schizophrenic like Joe, the main character's brother. But I am epileptic and the twist in this book really bothered me. It is horrifying to think that something like this is possible. But, I'm scared that it might be.
