Great read. Very Entertaining.

I picked up the first book in this trilogy wondering what all the hype was about, and was this just because the author has unfortunately passed away. The first book, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo took me by surprise! I will admit it took me about 85 pages to really get interested, but then every chance I got, I was reading! Stieg Larsson, the author and creator of these stories, will greatly be missed. I am almost done with the final book: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, and I have to tell you I am torn whether to read slower to savor Mr. Larssons creative storyline, or to carry the book with me so I find out what becomes of Mikael Bloomkvist, and our fiesty little heroine, Lisbeth Salander!

I believe these books would be enjoyed by anyone, male or female, from 18 to 98 years of age.

THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNETS' NEST BY STEIG LARSSON

WOULD RECOMMEND THIS "POSSIBLE" FINAL BOOK OF STEIG LARSSON'S MILLENIUM TRILOGY,WHICH ALSO INCLUDES "THE GIRL W/THE DRAGON TATTOO" & "THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE"......I AM AN INCESSANT READER, ESPECIALLY OF MYSTERIES AND POLITICAL THRILLERS AND THIS IS THE BEST, BAR NONE, SERIES I HAVE EVER READ! WHY? BECAUSE THE BOOKS SPEAK OF ONE INDIVIDUAL'S ONGOING,ILLEGAL TORTURE AT THE HANDS OF A "LIBERAL" GOVERNEMENT SUCH AS SWEDEN.....BUT, IT ALSO TOUCHES UPON CURRENT NEO-NAZI ORGANIZATIONS, FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISTS AND THEIR GOV'T ALLIES, FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND OTHER FREEDOMS TAKEN SO LIGHTLY, IN MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND CERTAINLY IN THE USA.....IT ALSO DRAWS THE READER INTO THE REAL LIFE POSSIBILITIES THAT LARSSON WAS MURDERED DUE TO HIS LONG & ONGOING FIGHT TO REVEAL AND RID SWEDEN OF THE EXTREME FAR-RIGHT POWERS.....AND OF COURSE, THE MAIN CHARACTER, LISBETH SALANDER, REPRESENTS SO MANY, MANY WOMEN AND MEN, WHO ARE IGNORED AND SILENCED TO PROTECT THE GUILTY! GIVE IT A READ, YOU WILL NEVER VIEW POLITICS, WOMEN'S "RIGHTS", AND YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT THE SAME WAY AGAIN!

Stieg Larsson rules!

I bought this as a gift for a friend because I have already read this book and passed my copy on. All of the Stieg Larsson books are wonderful and this one very clearly tied up all the themes from the two previous stories. This is some of the best reading I have ever enjoyed. I cannot recommend this trilogy enough to anybody who enjoys great reading. Not for the light of heart, though. Very intense and sometimes a bit horrific, but always always on point and entertaining. Sorry that Stieg Larsson is no longer with us, but hopefully someone equally as prolific is out there for me to discover very soon. Read this book but read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire first, in that order. If you are a voracious reader, you will be glad you did.

Written with a vision for the silver screen

I saw the first book come out while living in Philadelphia and passed it over, Good & Bad. Since I waited so long to read the trilogy I got to read them all back2back. I couldn't stop reading. I needed to see the next plot turn. The beauty of these books is Larsson's ability to describe the scene in such poignant detail that you feel you are there with the characters, invested in their emotional arc and you want justice to prevail. And, as alluded in my title, the detail is good enough to picture how this will turn out on the big screen. I've seen the first 2 movies and they stay with the main story line very well. I've recommended these books to many people: fans of crime fiction, politcal intrigue and david/goliath scenarios.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

I had already read the first two books in the Millenium Series (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire)and if you've read those you have to read the last book! Once again, Larsson delivered an action packed adventure from start to finish. I wanted to read this last book slowly and savor it, being the end of Lisbeth's story, but once I started, I had to barrel right through it! I expected to be disappointed with where the end of the book left the characters, since Larsson unfortunately died, but it was suprisingly satisfactory. Still wish there could be more stories though, these characters could have gone on to share many more adventures. As far as my Ebay purchase, I paid a low price for a brand new book which I received promptly, everything was great!
