Freshly Brewed Book Reviews

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

“When it comes down to it, this story is not primarily about spies and secret government agencies; it’s about violence against women and the men who enable it.”

Stieg, why did you have to leave us? In losing Larsson, we have lost a brilliant writer.

Although I was not as keen about The Girl Who Played with Fire as I was about The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, I thoroughly loved The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. The conclusion to the trilogy  is stunning, combining government conspiracies, courtroom drama, and endangered human lives into one glorious, fast-paced novel. The last time I was this enthralled with a thriller was the first of the trilogy: much like the first, I had to have my nose in this book almost constantly, my ever-present companion.

I won’t say anything regarding plot so as not to spoil the ending for future readers, but I will say that the hype is there for a reason, and this book definitely delivers. We can only hope that someday, the manuscript that Larsson died while writing will one day be released. Until that day, re-reading these three will have to suffice.
