That was a much longer piece than I'd thought it'd be, but I do agree with some of the things she said, especially where The Hunger Games is concerned. Dystopian is the next trend, and I understand why it's getting so much focus. It's a great genre. It's also got more to dissect than some of the other genres, I think, and provides a lot of social commentary.

Interesting article.

That's a really excellent article. I both agreed and disagreed with a lot of it, but it was a great read. And as a dystopian writer, I'm happy the genre's getting so much attention. :D
