I remember reading this book in middle school and loving it. I somehow didn't make the connection that it was dystopian until I read it again (this time), but I'm wondering if this is when my love for dystopian stories started. I always assumed it was in high school, but I think this may have been the original.
Reading it as an adult was not quite as jarring as it was for middle school me, but there were still some very glaring issues with the society. For the most part, this story aged well, and I would definitely consider it one of my all-time favorites.
