4 of 5 stars to The Girl Who Played with Fire, the second book in the Millenium thriller series written in 2006 by Stieg Larsson. Although I am very fond of this book, it wasn’t quite as good as the first one, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But it’s a very strong follow-up sequel worth reading. It packs an even larger punch as far as violence and drama, as well as brings out the sexual chemistry and tension between Mikhail and Lisbeth. But this book is all about Lisbeth… and in a strange way, I root for her. Despite the crazy that comes with her, she’s been through the ringer more than once. And when she gets revenge on those who harmed her in the past, I was a big fan of her tactics… despite what that may say about me. What’s great about these books is the intensity they bring to the entire story.
Loved this book. Kept me very entertained and wondering what would happen next.
Espionage! Thriller! Criminal procedural! Social injustice! Laarasson covers it all and he does so masterfully as we follow Lisbeth salander and the jounralis Blomquist. Fast and furious paced and very well done!
I read this series by the original author, Stieg Larsson, and couldn’t get enough of this series. Unfortunately, he died prior to releasing any of the further books for the series and the story has been taken up by his son. I haven’t read them yet but I’ll let you know if they’re as good as the original ones, which would be really making a statement about his son’s author skills.
Great trilogy that keeps you engaged until the end.
Best book I’ve read this year. Miss him. No more coming like his output
Loved it from beginning to end…
Not as good as original writer
Fantastic!
Great entertainment!! This book ends too soon.
This is a wonderful trilogy. Very well written with very interesting characters. I recommend it highly.
The usual Stieg Larsen. Extremely well written and well thought – out. I find I empathize with the characters, and want them to win.
All around, an excellent read.
Highly recommended!
The. Book is hard to put Down.
Love the series
This is an incredible book. You can’t stop reading. One of the best series.
This entire series was MOST intense!! Lisbeth was one of the best characters even written and her story is amazing! Read ALL the books about this event.
Well written great story
The original three books in this series are amazing! Larsson builds his story like a Chinese puzzle box full of nooks and crannies, each holding fascinating new information about his characters and their world as he works his way to an exciting conclusion. These are not simple people and their stories contain no easy outs or uncomplicated answers, but as the action builds and the story explodes, you quickly realize that the one thing you never do is bet agains Lisbeth Salanger. Not ev
Loved the main character….a strong woman who took no crap from anyone.
