16 Dystopian Books to Read If You Couldn't Put Down "The Hunger Games"

"The Handmaid's Tale" ($10, originally $16)

Admittedly, this book is a hair more suited for adults than "The Hunger Games." Margaret Atwood's critically acclaimed novel follows the experiences of Offred, a woman who's forced to become a child-bearer in the fundamentalist theocracy of Gilead. While the novels are based on vastly different premises, "The Hunger Games" and "The Handmaid's Tale" both have smart, resourceful women leads who are critical of their society's values.
