    Tbh I really love dystopian because it’s cleaner than most ya books today. It’s also incredibly nostalgic for me. Also, the fact that you mentioned unwind made me so happy! I loved that series in middle school and am thinking of re reading it soon. No one talks about it!

      Huxley & Atwood dystopias in of Australia are obscenity charges so my mother a staunch conformist used to say "You let those books ruin your mind" since an urban high school I went to was best described as "Dr. Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Mutants".

    ahh you’re the first person I’ve seen review the scythe book. Personally I’m quite fond of the series, I think it’s really good, one of my favorites for sure. I just think it’s great to see someone talk positively about a book you love :)

    Thank you very much and to your teacher too.🌸
    Nice to have some initial stepping stones when you discover a new genre for yourself. (Aside from those books that have been made into films already, cause there are too much words and "politics" surrounding those.)
    It becomes intimidating to search when everyone arround is negative. So thank you very much for being positive.☺️🧡

    Nineteen Eighty Four is one really good dystopian novel that I feel is a classic in the genre. I know it's probably the most over-cited book when it comes to making political arguments ("this is literally 1984!") but I feel it paints a vivid picture of things that happen in all kinds of authoritarian regimes; propaganda, psychological warfare, suppression of information, etc. Even if politics isn't really the reader's interest, I feel the book is written really well otherwise; there's a nice flow to it, and the amount to which life in Oceania is fleshed out is also something to be appreciated
    "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin is another dystopian novel that I really think pioneered the genre. I believe even Orwell said that Nineteen Eighty Four was loosely based off this novel one way or another. Plot-wise, it's pretty interesting, taking place in a world where everything in human society has been reduced to logic and everything is organized with mathematical precision (art, music, labor, daily routines, etc). It's also written in a really unique format -- being a diary of the main character, D-503 -- and the writing style is something I very much appreciated as well

      I also recommend the Angel fall series. It’s set in a post apocalyptic world attacked by angels. It’s kind of dark, but I think it’s suitable for middle school and above and the romance is clean and doesn’t overpower.

    Dystopia is from the Greek words 'dys' meaning bad and 'topia' or 'topos' which means place.

    • @CallMeDabz
      @CallMeDabz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      im not sure how accurate the movie is because I've never watched it, but i would reccommend you try to read the books because I really enjoyed them, and reading the books often gives a different experience !

    • @CallMeDabz
      @CallMeDabz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @mel6635
      @mel6635 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      i also watched the movies before reading the books, but yes i think it’s worth your while buying them, especially if you loved the movie. i haven’t watched the third and fourth movies and haven’t yet finished the 3rd novel so i cant tell you how similar they are, but there is definitely a lot left out from the books in the first two films.

  • @flowerofsteel
    @flowerofsteel ปีที่แล้ว +1

    can anyone tell me if the Divergent series has very much of romance or not? Since I'd like to have novels that are more of non-romance or a little of romance.

    • @CallMeDabz
      @CallMeDabz  ปีที่แล้ว

      I only read the first two books, but the romance is definitely more of a side plot than a main plot, however it still exists.
