I really enjoyed this book!! However, it is part of a triology, and this is book two in the series. The first of the series is "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". It is not necessary to read the first book to understand this one...it would just make some of the references easier to understand and put together. I purchased this book because it is a longer book...724 pages. I would rather take my time than rush to get it back to the library. Our local library had limited copies and I had to be on a waiting list. The only difficult part of reading this book is all of the names used and all of the characters. At times it could be a little confusing to keep the who's who straight. I did enjoy the murder mystery, the who-done-it and how it would all turn out. A great read, but do it in sequence and it takes some time to get through without confusing characters. The third in the series is "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest". You will need to read it because of the suspenseful ending. Happy reading!!Read full review
After I read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", I couldn't wait for and had to read the second installment in Stieg Larsson's trilogy, "The Girl who Played with Fire". It doesn't disappoint - this time, it's focused on Lisbeth Salander, the super intelligent, ass kicking, biker, hacker. And if you're looking for gilrs kissing, yes, she is and yes, she does. I'm not going to delve into the complicated plot. I read during the summer, and these two books really fascinated me.Wonderful "uh oh" and "ah ha" moments.Larsson's Salander is a marvel, surely one of the most interesting and memorable literary characters in long time. Go ahead, don't be afraid, and trust me, you'll love it.
Stieg Larsson first novel tell us about the eerie facts of sexual assaults that happens on daily basis througout Sweden, the dirty facts of the business world and the naivette of one financial journalist. The early chapters are rather mundane, with long explanatory passages that serves as the basis for the following. But when you get through the middle and ending part of the book, it's author rhyme of writing got to a full exhilarating speed of story telling. These parts I love best. Really looking forward in finishing the trilogy.
This is the second in a Swedish trilogy. I started reading the series because the covers were bright & the titles odd. I found out that Larsson, the author, delivered three books to the publisher, and then died. The first book, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, WAS WRITTEN IN Swedish, IT TRANSLATES WONDERFULLY. Certain to be a film, the mystery follows a tattooed investigator who, along with a journalist, convicted of libel are hired to locate a family member who disappeared 40 years earlier. It is a mystery, a story of familial dysfunction, and an amazing story of finances, that is wonderfully sculpted. In the second book, THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE,the convicted journalist, Blomkvist, exposes a sex trafficking crime. It is followed by two murders, with fingerprints of our tattooed friend on the murder weapon.Blomkvist must get involved to save his friend. This psychological thriller enters the dark side of society, introducing the readers to criminals who are outrageously disgusting, as they pursue their immoral interests, at the expense of Blomquist, and our tattooed hero, who has a dark past. This book can stand alone, but is better with the background from the first book. sextraffRead full review
I recently bought the book; "The Girl Who Played With Fire" By Stieg Larsson. This book is the first book in the series known as the "Millennium Series." I just finished reading the final book, “The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest” and that book/series are AWESOME!!! I strongly recommend the book "The Girl Who Played With Fire" along with the two other books in this series; “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”(2nd Book)& "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest" (3rd/Final Book). Stieg Larsson’s character development/back stories are without a doubt memorizing & his story telling is GREAT!!! I don’t know about you but I’ve noticed that a lot of authors either focus all their attention on character development or the telling of their story. However, Stieg Larsson REALLY is in a league of his own because he’s able to do both (character development/back stories & telling of his stories) remarkably well.Read full review
