The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest: Wiki Content For Your Kindle (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
It was a good read, very entertaining. It wasn't as good as "The Girl Who Played With Fire" but this book finishes the story. The story doesn't move as quickly as the previous book. The cast of characters is large and confusing at times because of the similarity of names. You can get bogged down in references to recent Swedish political history, which the story seems to have partially been inspired by. The Swedish political and legal system is a mystery in its self. Without a knowledge of Sweden and Stockholm you lose the sense of character movement even though maps are included in the book. If you chop off the distracting things the plot is imaginative, the story unfolds in an exciting manner, the characters stir your emotions. I had trouble putting it down. It's too bad Stieg Larsson has passed on. I will miss Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. I remember as a boy the utter anticipation that came with the experience of reading. Sitting alone with the latest Ian Fleming James Bond book was an sensory delight. The smell of the new pages, the colors of the cover and page trim, the weight in my hands. All just a prelude to the world of fast cars, loose women and wondrous physical feats performed by a cool Superhero. Hey whats not to like, update, similar feelings during my journey through ordeals and fantasy of the ultimate anti-hero Lisabeth Salander. So many visceral comparisons along with a renewed sense of guilty pleasure. Ah to have a conclusion, thank you fiction writer Mr Larsson, so unlike my years of work reading Non-Fiction, where fact is disputed as soon as faced with no end or conclusion just more questions along with a bit of hopelessness. So, I think this is not the proper time to review this dark trilogy. I wait to do a more serious review as soon as I get the image of a boy on a stoop reading about a spy out of my head, I hope you can tell I am not exerting much energy in pushing that image out at this time as it simply feels too good, hey I just eat an extra serving of greens to compensate.

Just re-read the whole dragon tattoo series. Lisbeth is one of my favorite heroines of all time.
