This did not grab me like the second; which was my favorite. Less, action since Lisbeth is locked up for most of the book. However, there are a number of issues to discuss. Reminded me of some of the philosophical questions on the Harvard professor's Justice series. Also, made me think of how many people are lacking in critical thinking skills or questioning sources. ...more

This book picks up where The Girl Who Played With Fire leaves off. Lisbeth Salander is in the hospital accused of aggravated assault and attempted murder of her biological father. Mikael must help clear her name.

I loved the other two books in this series but I especially loved this book. It's fast paced and everything is tied together nicely in the end- my favorite way for a series to end. ...more

I liked this well enough, but man could it have been a lot more tightly written. There was an entire subplot involving Erika Berger that could have been dropped almost entirely.

Finished this over Thanksgiving. It's probably worth 3.5 stars, but I'm giving it an extra half because it's actually the best in the trilogy. Larsson was starting to tone down the obnoxious level of detail, there were lots of plot threads which were all resolved and managed to twine together nicely without interfering, and there was actually a little bit of character development. Not least, it was actually gripping and hard to put down, which I couldn't say for the other two.

So. Finished. Yay! ...more
