I adore this book, but I always thought of it as more of a contemporary than dystopian. Either way everyone should read everything Melina Marchetta.

Oh, Favorite dystopian

the Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown

Also, It looks like I need to read Ready Player One.

I stand corrected

I agree with the Red Rising series

I've read Wool and really liked it but haven't gotten to the other two yet. 

I have the Penryn & The End of Days books but I haven't read them yet. They were recommended by a lot of people who I share similar tastes with so I'm sure I will like them. (Not sure if they is dystopian or more paranormal)

The Lunar Chronicles are good as well.

The 5th wave was good but I haven't read the second one yet.

It was okay but I think it is a good setup for what is to come.  At least I hope so.

marebeardvm I loved the 5th Wave, the second book was good but not as good.

The Hunger Games is my favorite. Divergent was great up until the ending.

I'll have to check out some of the other books mentioned.

I really loved The Hunger Games.

I must be one of the few people who thought Ready Player One was just so-so. I feel like every one else loves that book.

The Road was completely chilling and disturbing for me to read but it was a very good book.

Great list! I'd like to add the Uglies series, as well. It's YA, but I loved it.

[starsailor26]

I'm going to add the first book of the Penryn and End of Days series, Angellfall. It's a fantastic YA dystopian/paranormal.Thanks for the rec marebeardvm. I can't wait to read the second book!
