- Latest Review: Cover Your Tracks, Leona Leitman by C. S. Johnson
Think I will be checking some of these out, thank you very much for the suggestions on the thread. I love this style of writing because many show actual possibilities and ways that our world and humans could have gone. For me they are quite realistic if you take out any magic elements. That is why I like Hunger games/divergent, is it hard to believe that mankind could try this experimental way of living?ylisa7 wrote:Here are some you might like:

- Latest Review: "My Trip to Adele" by A.I.Alyaseer, R.I.Alyaseer
- Reading Device: B00JG8GOWU
Though not my usual genre, my boyfriend loves it, so I do a lot of research to get books for him. It also depends on what you consider dystopian, as some of the following suggestions don't really feature a totalitarian regime, but mainly some sort of degraded world.
I can tell you he really loved:
Swan Song, by Robert McCammon
On the beach, by Nevil Shute
The handmaid's tale, by Margaret Atwood
The Metro series, by Dmitry Glukhovsky
Take a look at these, and if it is the sort of thing you're looking for, let me know, I can give you a few more titles

Also, if you're okay with it, don't hesitate to talk to the librarians at your local library. They will probably know some others we haven't listed here and would be happy to help you.

- Latest Review: "Aftermath" by Gary Gaudin
I recommend Aftermath by Gary Gaudin. If you're lucky it will be on your review choices list.
I also recommend World War Z (zombie themed) and the Tomorrow When the War Began series (a local, invasion related dystopia).
