Favorite book on a dystopian society?

[InkAngel]

Divergent is the only dystopian one I've read I do believe...I should fix this.

Great ones already listed. My favorite would have to be the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. They are amazing books set in a truly dark and twisted society that is amazingly complex.

[Winston Smith]

Even though they are already mentioned here's my list!

1984 , George Orwell
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
We, Yevgeny Zamyatin

My favorite is Uglies by Scott Westerfield. The second and third books of the series were really good too and the fourth book was okay.
I also really enjoyed Slated by Teri Terry and The Bar Code Tattoo by Suzzane Weyn. They're both trilogies, but I haven't gotten to read the rest of the books in those series yet. I'm hoping they're as good as the first!

Definitely the Across the Universe trilogy by Beth Revis.

Dearly Departed by Lia Habel has to be one of my favorites, though the sequel was a real let down in the end.

I really need to read 1984 before summer ends...

I like the new age stuff (Divergent, Hunger Games) but it is interesting to think about how different these dystopian books are from the classics (Lord of the Flies, The Giver, 1984, etc.) There are several classics that I want to re-read because I think I will have a better appreciation for them now that I'm older.

It really is interesting to think about. I plan on re-reading The Giver and Brave New World soon. I love all dystopian books but haven't read a classic in a while!

The Hunger Games series

My favorite has got to be Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". It's vivid and scary and hopeless all at the same time while carrying powerful themes of loss and humanity and fatherhood specifically.

'The Handmaids Tale' by Margaret Atwood

[NGBookworm97]

I love the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness-the first book is The Knife of Never Letting Go. It's about this boy who has grown up in a town consisting of only men, and everyone can hear each other's thoughts. A very powerful and compelling read with great characters, and it's interesting to see the story and the world unfold throughout the series.

I really enjoyed Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut, mostly because, as a teen, I could definitely empathize with having your whole future, not to mention your sense of self-worth, determined by a standardized test you take once you graduate high school. cough cough *SAT testing* cough cough

For whatever reason, I was also super drawn to Anita Proteus (one of the book's morally iffy characters). Maybe because, when forced to be a valuable human being or have society THINK she's a valuable human being, she goes with the latter, and that's the sort of compromise a lot of people make.

Just my two cents

My favorite book is historical and novel book is very good.
