Here are some books that come to mind when I think dystopian, and they're not YA :
Also, what kinds of characteristics make up post-apocalyptic/dystopian novels? Is there anything specific you look for or expect to have included in these types of books?
7 shout-outs!:
Other than the popular The Hunger Games, an unforgettable dystopian novel for me would definitely be A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess!
Declaration by Gemma Malley. The biggest and most pleasant surprise of '09 for me.
Ones I've read:
The Hunger Games, definately
Unwind <33
The Uglies Trilogy (Series, since theres actually 4 ;D)
Gone Series
The Maze Runner
Thats all I can think of right now (:
I just started The Host, does that count?
Some dystopians I read for school:
The Giver <3
Anthem by Ayn Rand (this is a novella I believe)
Animal Farm (I never read past the first couple chapters :P)
Others ones I've heard good things about:
The Knife Of Never Letting GO
Life As We Knew It
The Forest Of Hands and Teeth
Ok, I think thats all I got (:
The Hunger Games of course
The Uglies Series
The Maze Runner
Birthamrked
All must reads!
I've seen a few of these in the comments already. But definitly 1984, The Giver, and the Hunger Games:D
HOW I LIVE NOW by Meg Rosoff and GIRL IN THE ARENA by Lise Haines
Definitely, The Maze Runner. but also Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith, it's YA dystopian sci-fi but not post-apocalyptic. As far as adult, The Stand by King.
