The second and third books of the Millenium series are best. I really love Lisbeth's character.

As for me, I just finished the Hunger Games series. I liked it enough and found it to be pretty engaging but I can tell Suzanne Collins is an Atwood reader, because a lot of the elements of the books reminded me of Oryx and Crake and The Handmaid's Tale. The ending was a little anticlimactic, but I did enjoy that the main character, Katniss, was realistic and not overdone in badassery or "femininity" but had a good mix of both. I approve of girls (well all kids even) reading these over Twilight, definitely.

On to this next:
