Top Ten Books I'd Recommend to Someone Who Doesn't Read Dystopias
Dystopian literature is probably my favorite genre, so I thought that I'd share some good books that fit into this category!
1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Sorry for the super obvious choice, but I had to include this since it's one of my favorites. Now that the movie is close to being released, a lot more people are reading The Hunger Games, which is great!
2. Divergent by Veronica Roth
I loved this so much! Very action-packed and interesting premise with the factions (think Harry Potter being sorted into a House, but you get to pick).
3. Wither by Lauren DeStefano
Very bleak and almost apocalyptic, but kept me turning the pages! I liked the polygamy aspect as well as the fact that people only live to their twenties.
4. Blood Red Road by Moira Young
The writing threw me at first, but I came to love the sparseness and the misspellings - it added color to an already amazing novel.
5. Delirium by Lauren Oliver
A society that believes that love is a disease? It's as good as it sounds!
6. The Giver by Lois Lowry
The first dsytopian I ever read (5th grade!) so it has a special place in my heart, aside from being one of my favorite books.
7. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
The second dystopian I ever read, so this is dear to me, too. Uglies features a society that turns its citizens beautiful at the age of 16. Sounds awesome? Think again.
8. 1984 by George Orwell
This is pretty much the epitome of a dystopia novel and was supposed to be a prediction for our world.
9. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
I read this for a research paper and enjoyed it very much. Reading classic dystopian literature is always an interesting experience.
10. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
This book features a religious theocracy where women have no rights. Pretty freaky if you ask me.
