[Eve-Olsen2005]

Anne McCaffrey's Freedom Series
Freedom's Landing
Freedom's Choice
Freedom's Challenge
Freedom's Ransom
Excellent Sci-fi novels of a human space travel to a new planet and the struggles and strife with the new terrain that almost wiped out their new colonies, and the successes they made in DNA dragon mutation in order to establish a way to survive.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned in here somewhere, but my favorite dystopian world is the Uglies series (by Scott Westerfeld). It was my first experience reading about a dystopian world, and I didn't even know that word back then. But I have read others since then (Hunger Games and Matched, for example), but Uglies is still my favorite.

I've never read 1984, but a lot of authors have been writing dystopian novels lately. I really enjoy the Matched series by Ally Condie, and I recently read Maze Runner which I enjoyed a lot.

I say anything by Orwell, and I liked the Hunger games

[hephaestion]

Of the dystopian novels I've read so far, I'd say that 1984, The Giver, and the Handmaid's Tale are my favorites.

[WinterCandyMints]

Definitely, Fahernheit 451.

[Norma_Rudolph]

Some great ones on this list that I have read and some that I will have to give a try. I'm actually a little tired of dystopian stuff right now though so I can't say I have a favorite.

I haven't read it since high school but one of the first dystopian type books I ever read was The Handmaid's Tale. Most of my class hated it but I became addicted to it pretty early on. The Girl With All The Gifts is one of my recent favourite ones though.

1984!

Once again I find myself disappointed....no...OFFENDED at a favorite book thread.

I tease, I tease....

But I am surprised no one at least MENTIONED Alas, Babylon. "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank was my first foray into dystopian literature as a high schooler. I found it in my school library, and fell in love with the genre before I even knew it was a genre. It is somewhat dated, I admit this. It was written in the fifties, at the crux of the sixties. Nuclear war fear era.

Despite its being dated, though I have read and loved many a dystopian tale since, "Alas Babylon" is one I continue to turn back to and re-read. It is probably one of my top five favorite books of all time.

I do have to give Stephen King's "The Stand" a shout-out though. If "Alas, Babylon" had never been written, then "The Stand" would be my favorite bit of dystopian wonderful.

I loved Hunger Games (Except Book 3) Loved the Maze Runner Series too. I'm currently reading one called Planet Urth, it really reminds me of Hunger games, so it may be on my list of favs soon!

The Handmaid's Tale or Brave New World. I've loved BNW since the fist time I read it in high school

[ALynnPowers]

Some of these books are so popular, but I didn't even realize they were dystopians!

One that immediately comes to mind is The Handmaid's Tale.

I really enjoy Brave New World every time I read it. I think the novel was ahead of its time when it was released. I love the detail and the characters. Any novel that shows how an population becomes so inhuman always fascinates me.
