Item Description

Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2010 As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned. --Dave Callanan

4 stars Coffee... 2010-09-08

Reviewer: J.J. Sigil

This last book in the Millenium series got off to a decent start, a very slow middle, with a terrific courtroom finish. Reading through the mid-section can be something of a trial, however, if one is determined, the reader will be rewarded with a satisfying conclusion. I must state, that I found the first book in series to be the best, that being established, the reader will be enticed to continue to the finish.
Like many readers, I found the sections relating to Blomkvist to be somewhat dull, & those dealing with Salander much more interesting. As many readers & reviewers have noted, you will either love this series, or hate it. True... I can appreciate how both sides of this debate are valid.
On a lighter note, it indeed humorous how much coffee is consumed by the characters. In each book, this consumption of the beverage is more pronounced. I found this rather amusing, & it's impossible to get through a page of the 3rd book without at least one mention of... coffee... Readers! Hoist your coffee cups to a fine finish, it is indeed a pity that we must bid Lizbeth Salander farewell.

5 stars Great end! 2010-09-08

Reviewer: Mommy

Great set of books. Loved them all. What more can I say that hasn't already been covered, NOTHING. These are a great read.

5 stars SAD TO SEE IT END 2010-09-07

Reviewer: Kari M. Layne

Great series beginning to end. I loved each book individually but this one was by far my favorite. It picks up immediatly after the last book ends and it dives right into the action, where as the first 2 books seemed to take a while longer to get going. This book follows multiple investigations of the same crime from all the different sides simutaneously. Constantly going back and forth from all the points of view. Which can sometimes be confusing but I felt it was done really well. I hated Dr Teleboria just as much as Lisbeth and I absoultely loved the scene in court when he finally gets whats coming to him! Great stuff.

The ending was only ok in my book... but maybe thats because I would rather the story didn't end :) I just felt that most of the action finished up a few chapters before the ending... so those last few pages just seemd to drag on for me.

There are rumors that Stieg's live in girlfreind is still writting the 4th and final book... not sure how much truth their is to that, but I really hope it is true. Only thing is, unlike the other 2 books, I didn't feel like much was left unresolved for a 4th story to continue on. The only thing that was never explained... and I would love to know more about was Lisbeth's twin sister. If a 4th book ever does coem out I hope to finally meet the mysterious twin.

4 stars Good book 2010-09-07

Reviewer: moviewizard926

This book followed in an excellent series! I thought it was a bit dryer than the first two, but still a great read!

5 stars Great Climax to a Great Trilogy 2010-09-06

Reviewer: Edith Clifton

I did not want "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest" to come to an end. How sad that the author Stieg Larsson, is not around so that we could anticipate his next novel.
