Lists

Ok, no review today. Instead, I'm going to give you a list of my favorite dystopian books, and the dystopian books I still have on my list to read. I will do my level best to review all of these dystopian books at some point, because they have all been great, but you have read them already, take a look at the coming soon page, because many of these books have sequels coming within the next couple of years.
Dystopian Favorites
  1. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
  2. The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger - Lois Lowry
  3. Matched, Crossed - Ally Condie
  4. Uglies, Pretties, Specials - Scott Westerfeld
  5. 1984 - George Orwell (Really didn't like this one, but it is the beginning of dystopian literature and everyone should probably read it to appreciate dystopian literature now. Warning: some mature content.)
  6. The City of Ember, The People of Sparks, The Prophet of Yonwood, The Diamond of Darkhold - Jeanne DuPrau
  7. The Long Walk - Stephen King (Check out my review Here)
  8. Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague - Michael Scott (not sure if this one counts, but it's still good. Review Here)
  9. Blood Red Road - Moira Young
  10. Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
  11. Divergent - Veronica Roth (Review Here)
  12. Ashes - Ilsa J. Bick (Review Here)
  13. The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm - Nancy Farmer
  14. Among the Hidden - Margaret Peterson Haddix
  15. The House of The Scorpion - Nancy Farmer (Review Here)
  16. The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure - James Dashner (Maze Runner review Here)
  17. Unwind - Neal Shusterman

Goodreads is down right now, so I think this is the complete list, but I might be missing one or two. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the ones I've already said are great, and please let me know if these ones on the second list are good or bad!

  1. I read Delirium by Lauren Oliver since I wrote this, and I HIGHLY recommend it! It was an absolutely fantastic book. The Enemy by Charlie Higson was only so-so.
