The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest by Stieg Larsson

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest

by Stieg Larsson




Rating (1-5) 📘📘
 Genre - International Mystery & Crime, Thriller, Political, Murder
 Format - Audio Book

*Amazon Blurb*

In the third volume of the Millennium series, Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition in a Swedish hospital, a bullet in her head. But she's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll stand trial for three murders. With the help of Mikael Blomkvist, she'll need to identify those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she'll seek revenge--against the man who tried to killer her and against the corrupt government institutions that nearly destroyed her life.


*My Review* 

I was quite disappointed in this book for the Millennium series. There were so many characters, the book jumped all over the place and all in all, left me feeling confused for the majority of it.

I almost feel that there was no "main" character this time, but a combination of main characters. It almost seems like the author knew how he wanted the book to end, but wasn't sure how to get there so he threw a bunch of scenarios together until the book seemed long enough and then added a nice ending.

The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

 ðŸ“˜ðŸ“˜ðŸ“˜ (3 out of 5 book rating)

I just finished The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson. The second book in this series. Unfortunately, Stieg Larsson passed away and was unable to continue the series. David Langercratz, however, decided to do it for him. So far David has wrote two more in the series The Girl In The Spiders Web and The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye. I am not sure if I will continue with the series. I have heard from some other people who have continued and they weren't happy with the way David portrayed the characters. Maybe I'll have to read them and make my own opinion.

Like the 1st book, I enjoyed the story line, but found it a hard read because there were so many names of people and places. Most of them I am not sure of the pronunciation, making it a bit of a struggle to have a nice flow with my reading. There were so many places, people and different events going on. In my opinion Salander is the main character of the book, but it seemed like she took a back seat in this one. I didn't get lost in the story, but I don't think this book was as good as the first. Even after finishing the book, I am still not sure of how certain people were connected leaving me a bit frustrated. Normally I don't have much desire to see movies that were made from books. I almost feel like I have to see these though, so I can hear how the names and places are pronounced. Also, to get a better understanding of the role everyone played.
