I'm listening to The Giver right now with a 17 year old foreign exchange student. It's a little young for her (as has been previously mentioned it's best for early teens), but the precision of language in the book is excellent for anyone with English as a second language.

I read The Crysallids back in junior high and agree with others that Wyndham's books are fine at the YA level. Personally, I don't find dystopian stories scary or dark, instead they make me appreciate the world we have.
