The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest

by Stieg Larsson

Penguin Group Canada | May 25, 2010 | Hardcover

As The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet''s Nest opens, Lisbeth Salander-the heart and soul of Larsson''s two previous novels-is under close supervision in the intensive care unit of a provincial Swedish city hospital. And she''s fighting for her life in more ways than one: when she''s well enough, she''ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for a triple murder. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will have to prove her innocence, and identify and denounce the corrupt politicians who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to become victims of abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot her revenge-against the man who tried to kill her, and the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.

Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now, Lisbeth Salander is ready to fight back.

    Satisfying End

    This book was a very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. It had none of the gruesome content of the first book, which I was grateful for, and was fast paced and kept me reading late into the night. Definitely worth the read.

    This was my favorite book out of the trilogy. It wrapped the story up nicely and was entertaining the whole way through. You know a book is good when you wake up at 4am just to see how it ends...

    A satisfying conclusion

    I was a huge fan of the first two books in this series. This ending didn't disappoint. I found there were alot of characters and story-lines to keep track of, and sometimes that bogged the reader down. But as to the story itself, I felt like the author brought us full circle. I appreciated what I will term "closure" (without giving anything away) between the respective characters. There was never a dull moment. The book kept me gripped to the end, and I highly recommend this series! Can't wait for the movies!

    Thrilling and exciting

    This excellent conclusion to Stieg Larsson's amazing trilogy, does the very opposite of disappoint. The thrilling ending showcases Lisbeth's Salander's fight for justice, alongside journalist Mikael Blomkvist. Incorporates the girl who did all three things that we all love her for. Her enemies might think that they've got her covered, but they've underestimated her one time too many.

About the Author

Prior to his sudden death of a heart attack in November 2004, Stieg Larsson finished three detective novels in his Millenium series. Before his career as a writer, Stieg Larsson was mostly known for his struggle against racism and right-wing extremism. In the middle of the 1980s he helped start the anti-violence project "Stop the Racism". This was followed by the founding of the Expo foundation in 1995. In 1999 he was appointed the chief editor of Expo, a magazine published by the organization.
