"Not like" is actually pretty harsh, and not entirely accurate, but it's the closest I could get in the title (unless I wanted said title to be three sentences long, of course). I do enjoy dystopians, and I have read mostly good dystopians that were engrossing, well written, interesting, etc... But... well, to understand that but, read on.
Among the books I own, only about 5% are dystopians. Considering I own close to 220 books (at the moment, excluding books in Hebrew and mangas :>), you can understand that's quite an overwhelming ratio. Diving in deeper, I've read, from those 5%, maybe two or three books. The rest are still unread.
Among those unread there are some insanely popular titles, such as Under the Never Sky, Divergent, Gone and more.
