01 - The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, by Steig Larsson, 743 pages, Maclehose Press, 2009
WHY I PICKED IT: The third in Larsson's trilogy.
ELAPSED TIME: 3 days.
RATING: Very Good.
A clear continuation of The Girl Who Played with Fire, this story wraps up that plot in gripping fashion. Similar to Ayn Rand, Larsson is able to write stories that advocate for his politics through his compelling characters. Gender equality, immigration, constitutional controls over government and police... all issues that Larsson fought for in Sweden are raised in his works of fiction. These three books were fantastic, and we are surely at a loss to not have had more from him.
If you want to get lost in a story, I highly recommend this trilogy.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
