The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson

SUMMARY

"Part blistering espionage thriller, part riveting police procedural, and part piercing exposeé on social injustice, The Girl Who Played with Fire is a masterful, endlessly satisfying novel. Mikael Blomkvist, crusading publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation. On the eve of its publication, the two reporters responsible for the article are murdered, and the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to his friend, the troubled genius hacker Lisbeth Salander. Blomkvist, convinced of Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation. Meanwhile, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous game of cat and mouse, which forces her to face her dark past."

MY REVIEW


I can't really think of much to say about this one.  The character development and the storyline were amazing.  I was slightly annoyed with the unnecessary detail that the author went into.  I was also annoyed by the fact the no loose ends were tied up by the end of the book.  He might as well have made the second and third books into one.  Yes, it would be longer but I would have been a little less annoyed.  Don't get me wrong though, I really enjoyed the book, and the storyline is incredible and I was able to get through it pretty quickly considering its length.  I can not wait to find out what happens to Salander and Blomkvist in the third and final book in the series.
