Michelle I haven't read this one, but supposedly it's good: The knife of never letting go

Or, if you are interested in zombies and science fiction, you can try wool omnibus

Each one is part of a series of books.


Cassidy The Selection Series
The Legend Trilogy (One of my personal Favs!)
The Book Thief
Percy Jackson!!! (Another personal fav!!)
Heroes of Olympus
The Darkest Minds Trilogy (The second book just came out in november)
The Mortal Instruments
The Fault in our Stars
Looking for Alaska
Anything else by John Green is amazing!
The Gone Series (Its a little on the gory side, but they are AMAZING)

Hope this helped a bit! :)

Ruth Well, nothing really is as good as the Hunger Games lol. You can try the Percy Jackson series or Divergent, they were both good. The Knife of Never Letting Go is good if you can get past the crazy writing style. The Book Thief is my all time favorite book, but it's not dystopian or anything.


Nikita These are some of my favorites,
Tiger's Curse, my new favorite series
The Iron Fey, my second favroite series
Penryn and the End of Days, if you want dystopian
Vampire Academy is awesome
The Immortals, is a good read

If you like apocalyptic try out doomed its really good and though its a stand alone book you'll. Like it. Don't let the description distract you its a lot different then they make it sound, in a good way
Doomed by Tracy Deebs


Mersedes You can also try the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield. OR the um... Matched series as well by Ally Condie. :) Or if you're into zombies you might want to try the Generation Dead series by Daniel Waters.

I have three great series suggestions for you!

The Sky Chasers series by Amy Kathleen Ryan (it's amazing really, just not the name of the series and the covers are eh, but its up there with this series no question, i loved the hunger games)

Ashfall series by Mike Mullin (i fell in love with this book, it falls into the apocalyptic area, it's the best really)

Every Day by David Levithan (for your teen fiction needs, this book is gorgeous, just read. it changes things! and there will be a second soo)


Kenzi The cahill witch chronicles!!! My favorite books ever! totally check it out. The author is Jessica Spotswood.
Or I really liked amber house by kelley moore (i think)


Kimberly Divergent
Across the Universe
The Selection


Yousra The Legend trilogy is awesome, I even prefered it to the Hunger Games. There's Divergent of course, it's really good.
I haven't read it but I plan to : The Knife Of Never Letting Go. I've only heard good things about it.

Kressel Housman If you use Twitter, you might want to try some non-fiction with Hatching Twitter. It's the history of the company, but it almost reads like a novel because it focuses on the relationships between the founders and how things went sour.


Shaye Unwind Series
Finnikin of the Rock series (Amazing).


message 21: by Sam (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sam Okay, most of the ones I recommend have been said, but in order of how much you will like it (if you liked the Hunger Games):

1) Divergent (Trilogy)
If you liked the Hunger Games, then there is no way you can go without reading Divergent--this one is a must-read (it has similar ideas with different groups in society and a dominating government)

2) Matched (Trilogy)
Personally, I think it has a similar idea to both the Hunger Games and Divergent with a bit of the dominating-society thing again

3)Legend (Trilogy)
This one is a little different, though again, Dystopian-themed; it has the whole rebellion/government thing, only it's different in two ways: a)it leans a little more toward the technical idea of figuring out what's really going out in the country's government and b) the MC starts out working as a government prodigy before she learns more about what's really going on (so basically the Hunger Games with more of a mystery-genre thrown into it)


I know this was long, but I felt like everyone was giving the same answers and you might want to get an idea of what these series were about. Hope this helped! :)


Skylar P. The Matched trilogy (ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!)
The Host
The fault in our stars
The Twilight series
The Harry Potter series


Nicole Dystopian:
1) Divergent (Trilogy)
I love, love, love these books. If you liked The Hunger Games, I really think you're going to enjoy these as well. I could not put them down.
2) Legend (Trilogy)
I thought these were very good. They're dystopian, but they're different from The Hunger Games.
3) Delirium (Trilogy)
I think this trilogy is pretty good so far. It isn't my absolute favorite, but that does not mean you shouldn't check it out. I finished the second book not so long ago, and I've liked them so far.

Non-Dystopian:
1) The Mortal Instruments (Series)
I love these books so much. They're more fantasy oriented, but I feel like they have everything else as well: action, romance, comedy, drama, you name it. They're very different, though.
2) Graceling (Trilogy)
I love these books. They're very unlike what I've been reading recently, which was refreshing. I definitely recommend giving these a try, or at least checking them out.
3) Any John Green book
John Green is one of my favorite authors. He's so amazing.
4) The Book Thief
I am currently reading this, and I love it so far. It hooked me right away.

Sophie Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy, it is an excellent series which I can't rate highly enough. Humour, adventure, action and magic abounds.

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, the best dystopian novel I have ever read, it is very different, a bit wacky, quite British in it's humour but it is incredible.

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, an excellent trilogy set in multiple dimensions. An awesome read that is thought provoking, imaginative and fun.


Brigid The Survival Trilogy by Morgan Rice. If you put any thought into it at all they are very very similar to The Hunger Games in terms of plot, but they are still a good read.
