So much gets in her way, ruins her life, even when its not her fault. I love his books but those definitely ended up being a bit of a downer in the later books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-63982548422927995702011-07-06T22:25:11.152-07:002011-07-06T22:25:11.152-07:00book-rain, I think it probably could be classed as...book-rain, I think it probably could be classed as a modern/cult classic. Vintage already do and publish it amongst their classic range. As do Everyman books who publish it amongst their hardback classic range.<br /><br />Mimi, I loved Uglies but it really doesn't compare with the other books I listed. I was running out of dystopain books that I read (and liked, have read a number of YA dystopian that I didn't like). I have come across Divergent on these lists but that was the first I have heard of it. I don't keep up with YA much these days.<br /><br />Yvette, I love John Wyndham and highly recommend that one. Also The Midwitch Cuckoos if you get a chance. It's more on the sci fi/horror side but fantastic.<br /><br />Couchpotatocritic, I can understand why people might not be a fan of dystopian. It can be a little depressing. I love it though. Shades of Grey is amazing but it's nothing like his other books.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-16886339272394467962011-07-06T19:18:54.726-07:002011-07-06T19:18:54.726-07:00The dystopian genre has never been one of my favor...The dystopian genre has never been one of my favorites, but I like the idea of <i>Shades of Grey</i>.

Also Winston Smith from 1984 - great choice. <br /><br />Eddie Russett. How could I have forgotten him? This was one of my favorite books from last year!<br /><br />The John Wyndham story is one I will definitely be looking for.<br /><br />Very interesting list.<br /><br />Karen: Thanks very much for dropping by my blog and following. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-76979102809891937392011-07-06T05:55:18.556-07:002011-07-06T05:55:18.556-07:00I thought the Ugly series was just alright but Tal...I thought the Ugly series was just alright but Tally is a great choice.

I have yet to read The Handmaid's Tale and I was just discussing with someone whether it could be considered a cult classic. I need to read more of these books:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-39037280723735375712011-07-05T18:54:59.203-07:002011-07-05T18:54:59.203-07:00I thought about Offred and Winston Smith, but when...I thought about Offred and Winston Smith, but when I went to write my list they'd slipped my mind completely.
