1984
This is one of my favourite books. I very rarely re-read books but this is one that I do re-read.
I need to re-read it too its one of those books u can’t put down once u start!!!
I totally agree. I had to study it at university. Thought it was going to be a drag but I couldn’t put it down!
is it a political book????or its just fiction
I’d say it’s both but definitely dystopian. What do you think?
both!! 😀 :-D…….and whats with the title???
There’s a theory that he switched the numbers after he finished it in 1948 (I think). Other than that I’m not sure.
thats what I know too!!!….Orwell was a genius!!!!…have u read animal farm????
I haven’t but I have read quite a few of his other stuff. What did you think to it?
you should read it it amazing!!!!one of the books we had to study when I was at high school
I’ll add it to my tbr list.
Handmaid’s
Oh and The Giver and Fahrenheit 451
I really enjoyed Fahrenheit 451.
Me too and I had my high school students read it in class.
Scythe
Red queen
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin,
A Canticle for Leibowitz
The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis ❤️
The Road by Cormac McCarthy. One of my favourite books!
Brave New World
Reboot by Amy Tintera! It’s a good duology ?
1984, The Giver, The Bar Code Tatoo, Brave New World, The City of Ember
What means dystopian
Utopia means like an oasis/heaven type place where everything is good/perfect, dystopia is the opposite so an end of the world type scenario where everything is bad/dangerous/dark- ie. zombie apocalypse
Thank you @Shivi ???
e.g hunger games lol
Hunger games would be an example, would be a scary world to live in
@Kondwani we think alike!
Davergent its distopian i think cause i have this serie
@Assia yep I believe it is(haven’t read it myself)
They say the first part of the serie is good
very scary..wouldn’t mind being part of the capitol though 🙂 😀
have watched the divergent movie!!!wasn’t that good hope the book is good!!!never brought myself to read it
I watch it itwas good full of meaning
I should re watch it 😀 😀
It is Good movie full of meaninigs you should and i supose the book it good too
@Kondwani, the Divergent books were really good. I wasn’t a huge fan of the movies, but I LOVED the books
Elizabeth Jo got to find the books!!thanks for the heads up!!
The books were amazing honestly, I them in a month with school and other stuff going on. The movies don’t introduce Uriah until about the second movie? And I personally feel like he had a key part in helping Tris cope with new surroundings as someone who was used to being in that factor.
opposite of utopia!!!..a bad place or society!!with undesirable living conditions
Thank you kondwani for your help???

I also don’t remember seeing Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
The Dwellers and the Slip series by David Estes.
Books of Ender series by Jeanne DuPrau.
Altered series by Jennifer Rush is kind of Sci-Fi with a dystopian feel to it. As is the MILA 2.0 series by Debra Driza.
Truancy series
Who is this by?
On The Beach/Nevil Shute
I just remembered another one! The Testing series by Joelle Charbonneau.
