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!

BookFever wrote: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!

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
