I’ve just finished the “Hunger Games” trilogy, very popular among the teen women set. The first volume, called The Hunger Games, is a real page-turner once you get into it. It’s downhill from there. The second volume is not as good as the first; it ends quite abruptly. The third volume is something of a dog’s breakfast: too many characters introduced and killed off (I couldn’t keep track of a lot of them) and the politics got more and more confusing. I’d recommend the first volume for a change of pace, but don’t bother with the others.
