With a few other friends, Lisbeth will finally reveal what locked her up so many years ago. With a twist and catch at every corner, The Girl Who Played with Fire, the last of the trilogy by Steig Larsson, will leave your head whirling.

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, is just one of many books that have joined the recent wave of dystopian novels; however, it is fresh and interesting anyway. Katniss Everdeen battles with twenty-three other teenagers in a game of life and death. This is definitely an action-packed book and a suspenseful page-turner; it's not wonder this is being turned into a movie! For anyone that enjoys dystopian novels such as Divergent and hasn't read it already, I wholeheartedly recommend The Hunger Games, you won't be disappointed!
