Books to read after the hunger games trilogy?? I've read both divergent books, I hardly liked either, I just got through both of them hoping it would get better and it didn't. It had a lot going on but I couldn't get attached to the characters.. I really need something good to read before I go crazy thinking about how there is no more hunger games! :'(

I also liked Across the Universe which is sort of dystopian in space.
Or are you looking for a different element altogether?
I always go back to the classics any time I feel like I've read too many books I disliked (I also disliked Divergent). Sometimes, it's best to get out of the genre altogether and take a break.
In looking at the older posts, they discussed this a little when the bookclub read The Hunger Games here. You might find some good suggestions there
I would say the divergent series. I know some people above mentioned it not being good! However I found it thrilling just check it out!!!! It's awesome!
I JUST finshed
It was great, really fast paced and adventurous. It's Dystopian and I read it in one sitting, a good Hunger Games-esque read.
Also the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patick Ness is one of my all time FAVOURITES, It's also Dystopian, but it's TOTALLY original, and in my book the writing/storyline ect outstrip THG easily!
Here's book 1 --->
Choose Blood Red road if you want a great adventure story, and pick The Knife of Never Letting Go, if you want something unforgettable...
I hope that helps, and if you do read either of them, let me know what you think :D
I completely recommend Matched it's brilliant. I recommended it to a friend of mine and she got really mad at me because it was so good she went all fangirl on it and didn't get any sleep that night; but she was totally grateful and that's her favourite book now. Also I recommend Noughts & Crosses it's fascinating. These are all Dystopian which is what I presume you're after. Hope I helped. Let me know :D

it's my favorite read of 2012. It's a dystopian book, but not really like the Hunger Games, but totally amazing! (:"I'm going to second that one. I loved Across the Universe and liked its sequel A Million Suns. Can't wait for the conclusion Shades of Earth.
Depends.. Re u looking for something like hunger games and wht did u think of the hunger games? You can pick between "obsidian" and "obsidian" oh ya I already read obsidian I think u should read obsidian
