The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

by Stieg Larsson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my favorite book of the trilogy. I already confessed The Millennium series is my guilty pleasure and I thoroughly enjoyed this last book. It took off where The Girl Who Played With Fire left off, and built the story from there. There was a slow part just before the ending crescendo, but all in all the intrigue, the ruthless spy game made-in-Sweden (don't expect James Bond, this IS Sweden after all), and the trial of Lisbeth Salander were all gripping and suspenseful. It won't win any literary awards, but it will be remembered as entertaining and well thought crime and spy intrigue.
