As promised on the show the last two weeks, here's a blog post. Now most of us know unless you've been living in a cave somewhere deep in the Rocky Mountains and even then you may know that Dystopian Societies are the big thing right now in young adult lit. Although both the Hunger Games and Divergent have much wider appeal to many different age groups from young adults to grandparents. I have grandmothers I work with who are hooked on both series. And if you listen to our radio show or know me in person you know I'm hooked on both series. The success of The Hunger Games and Divergent has led many more young adults and teens to read more and that is always a good thing. For those who don't know what Dystopia is the opposite of a utopia, a time and place in which humanity is in some capacity repressed, held back, and lacking liberty in some capacity. And with both series being adapted to film and getting rave reviews it is getting more people turned on to the genera. We just sw Divergent today infact and it was very well done. We'll talk about it more on tomorrows Candidradio Live on www.sky106.net at 7 PM EDT. Anyway, the folowing article talks about five other Dystopian books that should be adapted to film and these are books I'll be adding to my reading list.
