I'll go bronze on this one

1. The Giver
2. Fahrenheit 451
3 The Stand

(Bonus one) The Handmaid's Tale By Margaret Atwood: A Post 16 Study Guide

Ok Kisha....i need you to go into a little bit more detail. What is Dystopia and Utopia?

Okay so dystopia is a society where everything is bad. Example The Hunger Games, Fahrenheit 451, Divergent, 1984, The Giver, Anthem...... Here's a listopia for Dystopia

Utopia is quite the opposite where everything is perfect. Example: Anthem and The Giver can double as utopia because for the people in charge it was considered a perfect world.

A lot of dystopia/utopia books also fall under apocalyptic which is destruction of the world. Does that all make sense? Thanks for bringing that up because I meant to mention that here. I was so worried about those dang widgets lol

Alright. I get it. Thanks girl!

no probs

Ooooooh I love Dystopian. I could reread the Hunger Games or Divergent for this one. I'll go for Bronze.

I think I'm going to go for Silver level. I love this genre though I don't read it as much as I would like.

I will go for the Bronze with this one!

this is a vry cool challenge kisha

Thanks Kerry! Nice to see you on GR.

How has everyone been doing on this challenge

I just finished reading The Giver which I consider a utopia turned dystopia lol. Has anyone read it? It's a really good one to add to your list if you're struggling with this challenge.

I've read it. The ending really threw me for a loop. Definitely a good book.

The Giver was a great book. I just checked and I have only read on dystopian book this year. Lord of the Flies

I will probably read a couple more by the end of the year.

I read Lord of the Flies when in school and I guess I need to read it again. I was never a really big fan of most dystopia. I haven't read the Giver yet.

into the forest by jean heglund is pretty amazing. dystopian in a very real sence. it could likely happen in our life time (it begins with the power across the country ending). film adaptation also good.
i need to read the giver asap. i hear great things. i picked up acopy of cormack mccarthys the road..not started it yet. this genre is new to me.
