The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson
Adult New Book Display – Main Level Larsson
There are not many literary characters who can fascinate while bedridden and under arrest in a locked hospital room. Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander is one of the few who manage it. The brilliant, tiny, antisocial computer hacker with the vicious streak dominates his books despite seldom speaking. In this concluding volume of Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy she spends most of the book recovering from the events at the end of the previous volume “The Girl Who Played With Fire” while a massive legal and political chess game that could change Swedish history erupts around her. If you haven’t read the previous books, don’t start with this one; Larsson spends precious little time recapping or reintroducing existing characters. But for devoted Salanderphiles all the loose ends get tied up, the bad guys get what they deserve, and you’ll stay up far too late into the night unable to stop reading.
