And I agree that it can feel like a lot of them have a similar premise (evil government, society thrown completely out of whack) but the key to each book/series being successful is taking that idea on in a NEW way. I've also been on a bit of a break from them myself and am having fun rereading The Princess Diaries for the first time since I was in junior high =)Monica Fumarolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751397905523351234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135666147102959218.post-49442741860855191902012-06-24T13:39:14.207-05:002012-06-24T13:39:14.207-05:00I think Dystopians are here to stay.
I do like t...I think Dystopians are here to stay. <br /><br />I do like the genre but more in film. In books, I tend to be picky about what dysopian novels I go for because sometimes I feel like they resemble each other a little too much for comfort. The plotline really has to stand out for me, so I can go for it.<br /><br />And I already read too much philosophy in my spare time so I usually need a break from books with a heavy tone and dystopians have that quality to them.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124770346588082360noreply@blogger.com
