Blythe's Book 32: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest



The third, and quite possibly last, of Stieg Larsen's series left nothing to be desired. Well, there was a little to be desired, in that I would have been happy to read more about Mikael and Lisbeth. However, I think this book was my favorite out of the three, primarily because the whole focus was on Mikael and Lisbeth and the cast of characters surrounding them, rather than on a really detailed plot of corporate deceit and intrigue. I really delayed reading the last 50 pages or so, because I was SO worried that this book would be a cliff-hanger like the last one... and how frustrating would that be, since there isn't a fourth! Stupid Stieg, going and dying on his readers. So inconsiderate. However, the ending was perfect (and that's all I'll say about that). If you haven't yet picked up this series, I urge you to do so. Like I said before, I'm typically not one for mysteries or like, business-based plots, but the characters really won me over... and I'll miss them :(
