Your favourite Dystopian novels

[jerriblank]

Hi, I love dystopian fiction and would love to read some new books.

Can I ask for any of your recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Another vote for station eleven, its my absolute favorite and I've read most of the novels recommended on here!
One not to bother with - the passage by Justin Cronin, I think I read it based on a MN recommendation, it starts well but quickly becomes absolute drivel, and the worst part is that I didn't know it was the first of a trilogy so I suffered to the end only to find it didn't come to any conclusion!

Another one for John Wyndham here. The Day of the Triffids is a fantastic book.

I agree about Day of the Triffids.

Just bought Station 11 thanks to this thread.

I absolutely love The Passage. I’ve just read it for the second time and was just as gripped as the first time. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

How could I have forgotten about The Stand?!

Oh my days so many excellent book recommendations, see you on the other side! My gateway books when I was little we're Jean Ure's Plague 99 and John marsden's Tomorrow when the war began.

Just read the sequels 😊😉

I’ve just finished the last one for the second time. I love the whole trilogy

i’ve got a lot of ideas of books to check out now! surprised only one person has mentioned the death of grass - it’s EXCELLENT!

Are they are good as the original? I have the second one here to read

Age of Miracles
Before and After (quite weird but I enjoyed it!)

The Midwich Cuckoos

Kurt Vonnegut

Rama (all 4 books) - Arthur C Clarke/Stephen Baxter... strictly speaking it's sci-fi but becomes much more involved and dystopian from the second book. Absolutely my favourite series, but I'm a big sci-fi fan too.
Someone already mentioned Doomsday Book - Connie Wills. Again not strictly dystopian but definitely would appeal to people who like that genre.

Another vote for The Mandibles by Lionel shriver... Brilliant book.
The passage was good but the next two got ever more silly and I lost the plot rather...

I really enjoyed the entire passage trilogy to be honest. I was gripped by all of them. I’m just reading Children of Time and loving it so far.

My favourite John Wyndham is the Kraken Wakes but they’re all brilliant.

I need to check a lot of these out!

The Country of Ice Cream Star by Sandra Newman. Astonishing book!

Another vote for Earth Abides!

The Wall, by Marlen Haushofer. Has stayed with me years after I read it.

Nevil Shute - On the Beach
Max Brooks - World War Z

I enjoyed The Circle by Dave Eggers. It looks as though it's been made into a TV series due to be aired on Channel Four too.

My mistake - the channel four series is a reality TV series not an adaption of the book

Frank Herberts "Dune" series.
