Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2010 As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned. --Dave Callanan
Product Description
The stunning third and final novel in Stieg Larsson’s internationally best-selling trilogy
Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge—against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

 Steig Larsson book, last book September 3, 2010
Susan Lee Thuener (Mohawk Valley NY)
How sad that this is the last we will see of the protagonist, Salander, and Stieg Larsson. His stories were very well worth the time and expense of acquiring them. After I finished reading them I donated them to my local library.
Sad to see the trilogy come to an end...can't wait for the movie September 3, 2010

Great series. Highly recommended. If/when you see the movies...make sure you read the books first, b/c they don't develop Lisbeth's character fully in the films. The first two movies were very good.

Lisbeth,
Even though you don't know me I have enjoyed your company very much. Because of you I have rediscovered my love of reading. I will miss you dearly and wish you hadn't left this world so soon. Maybe one day we'll find out where you were when everything came to such an abrupt end.
-Just another admirer
