I also need to check out The Hunt.

I love The Hunger Games, but it's undeniably (just) a rip off of Battle Royale.Caycehttp://nijiclovers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-72305848052534778512013-05-22T16:59:46.582-07:002013-05-22T16:59:46.582-07:00I like dystopians, but right now I like post-apoca...I like dystopians, but right now I like post-apocalyptic stories better (Angelfall, The 5th Wave).<br />My absolute favorite dystopian is Battle Royale, which definitely falls into the "Violence dystpians" category. I also liked The Hunger Games, Divergent (but Insurgent was meh) and Selection/The Elite (<fave "Romantic dystopian"). As for Paranormal dystopians, I really enjoyed The Hunt, which is vampire dystopian.<br /><br />Great post!!!Caycehttp://nijiclovers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-6714378599958010492013-05-19T14:38:13.302-07:002013-05-19T14:38:13.302-07:00Also, I think that dystopians that emphasize the w...Also, I think that dystopians that emphasize the world building and survival are the most exciting and the ones that I can really get into. The romance ones are usually a little slower. Sometimes new thoughts just randomly pop into my head :-)Chelsea M.http://bookbloggerparadise.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-19037468221326503732013-05-19T14:32:23.858-07:002013-05-19T14:32:23.858-07:00I agree with you.

I love the dystopians that have a lot of action and suspense with a romance or 2 on the side.Chelsea M.http://bookbloggerparadise.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-36725013082854432902013-05-19T13:54:55.801-07:002013-05-19T13:54:55.801-07:00Great categories.

I enjoy all three dystopians but prefer the romance to be a side story and the world building to take center stage as well as the survival of characters.kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-41079481272058726212013-05-18T13:33:00.368-07:002013-05-18T13:33:00.368-07:00Awesome, Thanks!

It SOUNDS great and early reviews are promising. I tweeted a link earlier so have a look if you're interested.

They really make me think about what it would be like if the future were like that. I haven't read Eve yet but I have it on my TBR. That may be my next Dystopian :-)Chelsea M.http://bookbloggerparadise.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-54864747404249081812013-05-18T13:16:22.004-07:002013-05-18T13:16:22.004-07:00Thanks!

The last category I can't think of any I've read from that. The middle one covers two of my favourites Divergent and Delirium so I think this is my favourite class. The top section reminds me of Eve and Matched (which you mentioned). I enjoy these too but not as much. <br />What I love about dystopia is all the action, it keeps me on the edge of my seat in fear of my life..or you know the heroines life which in my mind is me! They also make me think about society and the wrong roads we could take.<br />Now all I need is a Carmel latte and a new dysopian :-)Trish Hannonhttp://twitter.com/TrishHannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389668281851035648.post-17012037509983936962013-05-18T10:24:06.656-07:002013-05-18T10:24:06.656-07:00Hi Chelsea.
