The World is Burning and I Love You! Dystopian Teen Fiction


The recent onslaught of young adult books set in worlds on the brink of collapse thrills some readers and leaves others cold. What do you think?

Here are some (relatively) recent teen titles:
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
The Forest of Hands and Teeth (and its two sequels) by Carrie Ryan (zombie dystopia!)
The Enemy (and its sequels) by Charlie Higson (zombies in this one too!)
Matched by Ally Condie
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Do you love dystopian novels? Hate them? Which one is your favourite? Do you think their societies are outlandish or totally believable?
