I was absolutely glued to the Chaos of the Covenant series, and Forgotten has grabbed in the same way. Damn you, M.R. Forbes. Why must I wait for the next book.

If you love SciFi and Dystopian books this is the series for you. Christina has created a new dystopian concept you have never read before and it will draw you in. This book is so vivid you can see everything happening reading it. Joy and the other teens at the orphanage have become the adults in this book by working/slaving at the TreeFactory, building trees so that the dying world outside will have fresh oxygen, and taking care of  the dying children/slaves inside the factory. Joy begins to plan how to free them. this is a dark yet light book where youll love some characters and hate others. it will also bring out a lot of emotions in you so be prepared.

Wow. Just wow!! This is the best one yet. We meet more characters and get insight into old ones. This is fast paced and a page turner for sure. This entire series is superb. Casey Hays has a gift for dystopia! She has created such an amazing bunch of characters, world and storyline. This is a must read for all ages who love dystopian reads. I am chomping at the bit for the next book.

This book was wonderful. It was something that, if you picked it up and opened it, you cant put down. I love dystopian novels and Kell Frillman gives a great one. I finished it tonight and already downloaded book two. The writing was done well, was easy to read and understand. I really can not wait to get into book two.

This book has a cliffhanger the size of the Grand Cavern.

We start this book when our young heroine (Ruby) is only 10 watching the flatfoots take her grandfather away.  He was not sick or have anything wrong mentally. It is all part of the doctrine that every one lives by.  They are underground.  I don't think it ever tells us how far under they are but I would think it would deep enough to keep them from dealing with the extreme damage and weather on earth. The earth got ravaged by aliens who took the water.

Now that Ruby is 16 she has so many questions. questions that no one wants to give her the answers to.  Reese, Willow, and Ruby have been friends since any of them can remember.  As they aged Willow has sort of been forgotten.  Ruby has started to develop feelings that are forbidden. Things start making her question everything around her more as she is forced to meet the boy who will be her husband and she finds out that Reese found a child that came from the surface.

The child being found starts our Ruby on a journey.  It is equal parts; self-exploration, questioning her reality, and her feelings for Reese. The last two chapters started to really pick up and were getting good when it ends.  I know that I cant wait to read the next book.

I give this 5 out 5 stars

I'm partial to stories involving dystopian societies (must be the pessimist in me).

With Xenofreak Nation, the author shows us a near-future dystopian society that is plausible and well-crafted. The characters are well-rounded, the plotting is tight, and I found myself pulled eagerly along by the story.

The cover indicates that this is Book One in a series - I can't wait to read the next book!

Well written characters, interesting story line for the reason of dystopia. Looking forward to next book in the series to see where it goes.

This is a very well-written dystopian novel set in the near future. The characters start out as young rebels but grow older as the book progresses. One of the things I liked best is that the dystopia is rather realistic, based on things that are going on now and things that could conceivably happen soon. Also, the story is not as grim as some others, such as The Hunger Games. There is room for hope here.

Although the book seems to be written for adults, the content is such that you don't have to worry if a younger reader borrows the book.

Both the joy of survival and the weight of regret were unfamiliar to him, but neither would let him go, as hard as he tried to sweat them out.

A mix of The Snow Child and The Martian(minus the humor) - this is probably my favorite dystopian ever. The beautiful writing feels effortless, and I was transported to the Tundra as well as outer space by the authors picturesque description of these environments. The reason for the apocalypse is never explained, and the ending is left wide open, I liked this, but don't think that everyone will. This is a book about loneliness and isolation, and how your feelings on these subjects change when they are not your choice anymore, but the only reality available. So in summary this is a literary dystopian focusing more on the characters feelings than actions, but with enough tension that I could not put it down. I can't believe this is Lily Brooks-Dalton first foray into fiction, I will be reading everything she publishes going forward.
The Story: Two scientists in remote locations must navigate the sudden loss of human life on Earth.

This was honestly one of the most thought provoking dystopian novels I have ever read. Mya Robarts did an extremely good job at showing the different effects sexual assault or even the threat of sexual assault can have on an individuals. While the story does portray a fictional, dystopian world, a lot of the actions that happen are the reality that is actually faced by a good chunk of the world. It also critiques the idea that virginity equaling purity, and therefore being more desirable, through the main character, Lila, actively trying to not be a V Girl on recruitment day. There's multiple discussions on sexuality and healthy sexuality (consent is key, my friends) through out the book. Ultimately, though, as there is a bit of sex and the violence that comes with rape throughout the novel, so please keep that in mind when/if you do read the novel.

An apocalyptic world rendered vividly and believably, where personal stories intertwine with stunning detail.  Great for fans of science fiction and dystopia. Movement between Then and Now handled with ease; no confusion. Im sure this story will follow me into my dreams, for better or worse!

I was pleased to discover that this rather understated novel is quite dystopian in both plotting and viewpoint. The author describes a plausible future that is rather frightening...and spot on with respect to how technology, ageism, and our consumerist society is evolving. A good book.

This is by far the greatest dystopian novel since 1984. I thoroughly enjoyed it, Atwood's prose at times soars without being overly descriptive. My only quibbles--few and far between--came in rare instances when the narrator knew or inferred a bit too much from a scene and told the reader detail she couldn't have known, but that is so easy for an author to do. I loved it!

This amazingly well written dystopian novel will be on every AP reading list in the very near future.  I loved the style as well as the subtleties. An amazing work.

I consider this book a masterpiece of dystopian fiction. Fully formed characters. Unique setting and scenario.

Marko paints a believable picture of a dystopian future seen through the eyes of one of its residents.  The characters are fairly relatable, and their behavior matches the world they live in well.  World is well built, and details are not added just for detail's sake leading to a fairly quickly paced read that won't put you to sleep.

Looking forward to the next one.

A fantastic, hard-to-put-down, dystopian epic in the same vein as Battle Royale, with boys/girls, or 'tributes', from their respective districts being forced to kill each other in a vast, outdoor arena until only 1 remains while their loved ones and those in the capital watch a live televised version of the event. This is essentially a satire of what life has become with the Reality TV craze if they were to pair such programming with televised executions should a UFC victor be allowed to kill his/her opponent at the end of a match.

In the society that Suzanne Collins has exquisitely crafted, the districts are essentially broken down by their main source of commerce and lorded over by the oppressive capital city, and this type of televised violence and barbarity is considered totally normal and accepted for what it is, a grim reminder of darker days...

There's almost a creepy parallel here between how are own society is progressing and the influence that media and government have in our lives.

But enough of the doom/gloom thoughts. This is a wonderful read that nobody should pass up.
