The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium, #2)
by Stieg Larsson, Reg Keeland
by Stieg Larsson, Reg Keeland
Important things I learned in this book:
- Salander has lost weight since the first installment, even with her boob job.
- There are very few people in Sweden who have not taken advantage of Salander or with whom she has engaged in relations with by choice. But there are more of the first than the second.
- When you buy IKEA furniture, pay other people to put it together.
- It possible Blomkvist isn't the jerk I've thought he was? Because those last 100 pages made me wonder if I've misjudged him.
- You can come back from the dead without reemerging as a zombie and you wield an axe, too.
- All of the titles of these books carry deep meaning.
- I had the fortitude to finish this book, unlike other people (cough Courtney Summers cough).
...It might be a couple days before I can possible even think about starting the last book. But I'm going to do it.

42.0% | "I'm sorta surprised there was a footnote included. With everything else just shoved right into the narrative, it was a little jarring to have to look down the page for more information." |

I still haven't found the will to start the third book. I don't know how many more grocery lists I can read that include how many frozen pizzas and apples this girl buys.

Even when she got sick of it, she went and had some more.
