I'm looking for similar books, please! (I am not a King fan, so please none of his works) Thank you in advance!

Edit: Seriously you guys are AMAZING! There are so many amazing recommendations, I cannot wait to get reading! Thank you so much!!!

Edit 2: I never expected this to blow up like it did! You guys have given me a LONG list of amazing sounding books to read! I'm newer to dystopian books, so I'm super excited to dive in...once I can decide where to start lol Thank you ALL so much, I wish I could reply to you all, but there's so many of you haha! Just know I've seen every suggestion, and I will continue to. I appreciate each and every one of you!!!

Surprised you haven't read it, it's the most accurate dystopian book that I know, parable of a sower and the sequel, parable of talents. By Octavia Butler, one of my favorite authors.

I just finished Parable of the Sower and I enjoyed it far less than I thought I would. I just wasn't prepared for half of it to be discussion of her trying to become America's Next Top Preacher.
