    I loved Tris. Katniess and Peeta are definitely intriguing characters. I still need to read most of these, but I also loved Guy. It took me a second to remember him, but yeah great character.

    The rest all come from books I'm still dying to read.

    Great list and thanks for sharing.

    Never Let Me Go is a movie I want to watch. I know! Why not read the book, but I just want to watch the movie. ;)
    It just looks that damn good.

    I love your list! Jonas and Guy Montag are two of my favorite characters but they seem to get forgotten in the dystopian lists.

    Good list! I am glad to see some books/characters on here that are not just the mainstream (Giver, Handmaid's Tale, Ready Player One)

    Katniss, Peeta, Tris, Guy, WOW. I love this list! These are some of my favorite characters as well, although they weren't on my list. (I had a different genre.) But if I had done Dystopian, they would have been there, promise! :)

    Again, love this list!
