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?
Other than the popular The Hunger Games, an unforgettable dystopian novel for me would definitely be A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess!
ReplyDeleteDeclaration by Gemma Malley. The biggest and most pleasant surprise of '09 for me.

I've seen a few of these in the comments already. But definitly 1984, The Giver, and the Hunger Games:D
ReplyDeleteHOW I LIVE NOW by Meg Rosoff and GIRL IN THE ARENA by Lise Haines
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, 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.
