HUNGER GAMES ARE THE BEST THEY ARE MY LIFE!!!!!!😱😜😁😆
I haven't read Divergent yet, but I've read the others and loved them.
certainly divergent. an excellent series that keeps you breathless.
I read the Hunger games series and the first book if divergent
I actually liked Divergent better than Hunger Games, although I did enjoy them both.
loved the hunger games, divergent is still on my tbr. At the moment I'm reading the Legend trilogy. It is quite good but keep in mind the protas are 15 yo.
Yep, love all 3 of them! My YA series gets compared to divergent sometimes.
THE GIVER series by Lois Lowry is different.
Also, Ayn Rand wrote a short dystopian novel called ANTHEM and it’s worth a read. If you liked 1984 and Brave New World it would appeal to you.
Haven't read the Maze Runner yet but saw the movies and loved them, Absolutely love Divergent series and The Hunger Game's. Just finished Mockingjay and am reading The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes, can't wait to see that movie next month.
I loved The Hunger Games, both the books and the movies, enjoyed The Maze Runner movies but not the books, and wasn't a fan of the book/movie series for Divergent.----
Here are some YA dystopian book recs:
- The Giver By Lois Lowry (Read this as a kid, it's amazing)
- Red Queen By Victoria Aveyard (Enjoyed the first book, haven't continued)
- Cinder By Marissa Meyer
- Angelfall By Susan Ee
- Shatter Me By Tahereh Mafi (I DNF'd the series, but other people seem to enjoy the books)
- Legend By Marie Lu (Also DNF)
- Scythe By Neal Shusterman
- Partials By Dan Wells
- Red Rising By Pierce Brown
I loved Maze Runner and Hunger Games more than Divergent. I think Hunger Games eas the I loved most, and I actually liked the ending of the Maze Runner movies better than the books - it was more hopeful.
I enjoyed the books and movies for The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. But when it comes to Divergent, I prefer the books, though Divergent I love the story I hated the ending. Tris dying, I feel like it just ruined everything. We didn't get a chance to fully know what a Divergent person is truly capable of and Tris didn't get a chance to fully understand what she is.
I've read all the Hunger Games and Divergent series. The Maze Runner is on my tbr list.
I loved the Divergent series the best.
Hunger Games was awesome. Divergent and Maze Runner were cursed by being way too formulaic and, frankly, boring to me by the end. It was just hard to care about any of the characters.Though I loved the first Maze Runner!
love the hunger games!! I would like two recommend a book called "ailce" its a alice in wonderland retelling its really good and is dystopian. tho I'm sorry I can't remember who wrote it!
I adore The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games. I think that Divergent is okay, but not as good as the others.
I love the hunger games! divergent is too complex for me to understand
Im a new fan of The Maze runner lol im almost at the end of the First book and im enjoy It pretty much:3
The Testing, Independent Study, and Graduation Day by Joelle Charonneau we’re amazing!!
Another pairing I enjoyed was Flawed and Perfect by Cecilia Ahearn. I do enjoy dystopian fiction.
Read all three and the ratings are below. It was The Hunger Games that brought me into the reading world and will always have a special place in my heart.1. The Hunger Games
2. The Maze Runner
3. Divergent
I love The Hunger Games trilogy. I read Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and I cannot figure out why anyone would want to write the book or make a movie about Snow. He's pure evil. We know what he did during the HG and how he died. If they wanted another book/movie it should have been done on just what led up to Panem being established.
yessss we here !!! especially Hunger Games !!
oh YES the maze runner is my fav trilogy of ALL TIME. Such tragedy, emotions, those feelings of nostalgia that will always live on in my heart.
PLEASE STOP INVITING ME TO THIS GROUP.I DO NOT WANT TO JOIN IT.
IF YOU SEND ME AN INVITE I WILL BLOCK YOU AND REPORT YOU FOR HARASSMENT.
yup! I've seen the movies to all, but only read THG out of the 3.Agree with "The Giver" for a recommendation.
Other than that, maybe:
- the "Gone" series by Michael Grant? Most similar to TMR though.
- "Cronos Cube" by Thekla Krausseneck, but that's currently only available in german.
- "Boy in a white room" by Karl Olsberg. It's a trilogy but can also be seen as a stand-alone, as the sequel is more like a spin-off and the last book is a prequel to the first book. (You should still read it in the order it was released tho.)
OMGGGG YAS I have all the books for THG including ballad of sonbirds and snakes, I have re-read them hundreds of times thats how good they are👌PERFECTION From there I started reading more dystopian series and I absolutely loved Maze runner and divergent series, in a way I can relate to their characters so well
An emotional roller coaster, but you gotta love the thrill😌
I have arrived! I'm a huge Hunger Games fan (reading the series for the 11th time at the moment, actually), and I love Divergent as well! I've read The Maze Runner, but personally, it wasn't really for me. I'd definitely recommend Legend by Marie Lu and also Warcross, also by Marie Lu if you liked them!
"Survivor of the 100 days" is basically like Hunger Games, but with a bit of a mix of Maze Runner. The setting is similar to Catching Fire, as the group is stranded on an island, which is inside a glass dome, and there's fog that can kill them. It's also a live tv show, broadcasted around the world, and the characters are at least aware of that. And, when one of them dies, they get announced at the top of the dome.
Just like in Maze Runner, they don't remember how they got there and sometimes get packages with food and weapons sent.
It's a full-color Manhua available for free on MangaToon.
Started it yesterday.

I haven't read MR and D myself, but I've heard MR is pretty much the same as the movie (according to Hannah it's not true, though). Whereas D gets a bit different later on, but since they cancelled the 4th movie and if you're curious how it ends, I'd give it a shot.
TimeFliesAway I absolutely disagree I don't know who told you that TMR book is pretty much the same as the movie but eighter this person haven't read the books or haven't payed attention to the movie tbh.(I suppose this person haven't read the book because even if you don't pay attention you can see the difference).So please if you're not sure don't write such things because that's a lie
I loved “The Hunger Gmes” and always wanted to read “The Maze …”

I haven't seen the movies for The Maze Runner, but for Divergent, you absolutely should read the books. The the movies are so utterly wrong (particularly Insurgent and Allegiant), as the entire plot has been changed in the later two.

I'm 53 years old and LOVE Harry Potter, Maze Runner, Divergent, Lord of the Rings, and Hunger Games. (Hunger Games and LOTR are my favorite series of those listed). My daughter is trying to get me to read the Percy Jackson series next...we'll see. I've heard the Shatter Me series is quite good, although I haven't read it myself.
Mod
I'm currently reading the divergent series even though I started it like previous year
I loved the hunger games, currently almost done with the 3rd book ❤️
The 5th Wave meets Divergent in this action–packedscience–fiction thriller.
divergent is one of my least favorite series and I don't remember much abt the maze runner books, but I love love love the hunger games
The hunger games is my life oml. Divergent was okish. And I made it to like halfway through the Maze Runner before I got bored lmao
