The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larsson

I just got through reading “The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest” by the late Stieg Larsson. The “Girl” is Lisbeth Salander, a dynamo who suffered severely as a young teenager in a psychiatric hostpital the hands of the Swedish Government and was then brutally raped by her legal guardian when she was in her 20’s.

This book wraps the whole story up. It involves nuclear secrets, Russian Spies, rogue intelligence agents. If you like thrillers you have to read the Millenium Series. If you haven’t read the series this book won’t make too much sense by itself. Start with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I give this book four stars out of five. I got mine on Kindle.  I think its coming out on paperback soon.

    I bought the hardcover copy this summer because I just couldn’t wait. The book didn’t disappoint, although you can tell there was material for other stories… it’s just so sad the author passed away.

    I’ve read the series and thoroughly enjoyed them – my only problem was the Swedish names!!!
    Totally agree with Zhu, how sad that the author died before he got the recognition he deserved.
