I loved Forbidden by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee (not listed)
The Hunger Games trilogy (AWESOMELY WICKED!!!!!!)
I am wanting to read Divergent and some others listed! Whooo!!
I would add Replay by Ken Grimwood. It’s not entirely dystopian, but it has some really cool elements to it… and it’s the best book ever written.
Thanks Ryan, those are powerful words.. best book ever written…. I now have to check this out 🙂
Ooooh. I am a HUGE dystopia fan. Keep finding myself drawn to it again and again…with short gaps between for some other stuff. Question, though, are you distinguishing between post-apocalyptic and dystopian and/or science fiction? This will be fun! Thanks for arranging!
Anna, I dont know if I know enough about dystopia to know if I am distinguishing….LOL
Whatever you wish to claim as dystopia…. to me it is “end of the world as we know it” type reads 🙂
