It is true th...I'm agreeing with everyone above me. It is true that YA dystopian literature are slightly more upbeat than adult dystopian lit, but I feel like that's also due to the genre too, and that if a YA author wrote an extremely depressing and challenging dystopian novel, it'd probably get bumped into the adult lit category, and vice versa. You're also right about Lord of the Flies pretty much covering that what-if; Gone is a rather minor story in comparison.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for putting up the post!

I don't normally enjoy dystopias as usually they seem to be trying too hard to make a point to bother much with a plot, but The Hunger Games is a massive exception.

I appreciate it. <BR/><BR/>And what a wonderful and thoughtful post! You provided some great book mentions that I will definitely have to look into.<BR/><BR/>Dystopias are always interesting to read. I have yet to read any YA versions...even Lord of the Flies I'm afraid (although I will be sometime in the future). I enjoyed reading your comparision of YA dystopias vs. the ones written for adults.Mishel (P.S.
