Probably my first introduction to the dystopian genre, and an enduring favorite. The entire quartet is great, but the first book is arguably the best. It certainly made little-me think, and I've come back to it a few times since I first read it.
I see the movie as an alternate universe, and while it's not book-accurate, it's still entertaining for its own reasons.
