Overview

Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine "Millennium, " has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.
But he has no idea just how explosive the story will be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander--the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, " and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of "The Girl Who Played with Fire."
As Blomkvist, alone in his belief in Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.

Utterly fantastic from start to finish. Especially loved seeing more of Lisbeth's past explained. The ending had me cursing and laughing in equal parts! I listen to these books and the narrartor was spot on! Looking forward to the next experience.

Great Book

There are some things to get over, such as I am not a fan of the sexual lives of the characters, but by far the story is wonderful. Not a romance, but I can really see how Lisbeth is changing as a person and is starting to see her own value, I loved this book, its great!!!

This series is fantastic! What a joyful ride it has been getting to know the characters. Just added the Hornets Nest and moved it to the top of my rental list. I can't wait until it arrives! Larsson needs to keep this series going.

This was a wonderful book but DON'T get these out of order! This mistake cost me the first 1/4 of the book to try and figure out the characters...not to mention the names! Hard to keep track of everyone at first. Maybe if listening on a long road trip rather than a commute, it would make more sense but I had to keep going back to reconstruct the links of everyone. But, once I was hooked...I was really hooked. Very engaging characters and great story!

This is a great read (listen) and worth the effort to listen to. It starts a little slow, but builds slowly toward the climax. It is worth it to listen or read the first in the series, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It helps with the background information. I really like this series.

It took awhile to get into the story, but the reader really created the tones of the story. one of the better epic recordings I have listened too.
