Heh, that's interesting that we got essentially the opposite lesson from the same books. That 5-10 (?) years really makes a difference, I guess?
Well, I dunno, I think the Tough Guide is applicable to Harry Potter too. Though judging by my recent experiences with my sister's YA dystopia, you could make another book on YA dystopias alone... seriously, with very few exceptions they're all Spunky But Sensitive Heroine who Discovers Her Utopia Is Really a Dystopia While Finding True Love.
