The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

First of all, you've got to say something about a book (a trilogy really) that makes you want to NOT drink so that you can stay up as late as possible to read (so as not to forget what you've read). That is what this trilogy has done to me! And how bummed am I that I've completed the final chapter of the last book in the trilogy!!! SO BUMMED!!! I need a drink!!!

So this last book in the trilogy is really a continuation of the second book. I'm sure that the author chose to split it in two for two reasons: 1) Money! Two books means two hardbacks and two releases with two separate sellings which means MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! (though he's now dead so who cares) and 2) Had it not been divided into two books, the ONE book would have been about 1300 pages. YOWZA!!!

Anyway, as I've said this last book is a continuation of the second so I don't want to say too much about so as not to give anything away. I will say, however, that it is an in depth investigation of the circumstances that have landed Lisbeth in a world of trouble. She's basically shut off from all of those who could help her and left to prove her innocence - with only her lawyer - in the attempted murder of her father and 14 other lesser charges. Her ability to trust is being tested and in the end she will be left with only one choice. You must read this series because I'm telling you it is spellbindingly DEEEEELICOUS!!!
