The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

Title: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Millenium #3)

Author: Stieg Larsson

Pages: 576

Genre: Thriller

Grade: A

Synopsis: This book picks up where the last one (The Girl Who Played With Fire) left off .  Lisbeth Salander is recovering from gunshot wounds to the head and shoulder in a hospital.  The police are keeping a close eye on her as they're expecting to charge her with the murder of three individuals.  Mikael Blomkvist is still convinced of Lisbeth's innocence and has put his heart and soul into proving her innocence and uncovering the story behind it.

My Review: After spending 9 or 10 weeks reading The Infinite Atonement, I was looking for a book that would be a quick read and hard to put down.  This one certainly fit the bill.  Just as with the previous two books, this one is well-written and full of unexpected twists and turns.

Disclaimer: There is a lot of language, violence and discussions that are sexual in nature.  This is certainly not a book for children.
