Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi is a dystopian fiction novel and the third book in the series. Juliette wakes up with the news that Omega Point is destroyed. She doesn’t know if Kenji, Adam, and the others are alive. Now, she must trust the last person she should, Warner, in hopes to takedown the Reestablishment. Juliette and Warner work together to save their dying world and friends. And perhaps Warner isn’t the villain everyone made him out to be. In my opinion, this book is the best in the series.

Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel where books are banned to eliminate complexion and contradiction among its citizens. Although being a challenging read and hard to understand at times, it shares many relevant messages to today's society. If you give it a few chapters, I can almost guarantee you will want to keep reading. The book's many twists and turns keep you glued and wanting to know more, with Bradbury's delivery of suspense being outright brilliant.

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian reality novel. This book was a confusing read for me since all of the topics and themes in the book were hard to understand. It was a difficult book to understand because several of the vocabulary words that were used in the novel were confusing and I had to look them up frequently. Overall it’s a good read for someone who likes dystopian fiction and is trying to explore new genres.

Fahrenheit 451 teaches its readers of the importance of intellectual and critical thinking. It's set in a society that has banned books as they are believed to brainwash its subjects. The book rejects superficial thinking and advocates for gaining knowledge. Fahrenheit 451 is heavy on figurative language which allows the reader to ponder and interpret the text in their own way.

Brave New World is a perfect read to place yourself in a dystopian world. The book forces you to think about society and how it has molded each person based on its ideals. Brave New World is primarily based around a class society that trains its population to act accordingly to it. The book follows Max Bernard and how he feels misplaced in this world as he yearns for a sense of individuality.
