I FINALLY made through the tale of Lisabeth Salander. It took me almost one year and hours of stopping and starting until I completed the last book. Honestly it was an awesome story with some dry parts that left me crying for Larsson to just get to the point already. I enjoyed reading the Millenium series and would recommend, but it would come with a heavy "You might snore on some parts." disclaimer.

During the second book, I kept thinking, enough with the very obvious sexism-- it's rare that as a woman you will find men casually tossing out the word whore.

Sad to part from the crazy tales of Lisbeth and Kalle. I really liked this series but think that even if the author were alive, maybe 3 was enough anyway. Let the poor woman have a normal life in peace, eh?
Larsson tells a good story but I really wish he didnt include so much unnecessary details! The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest was a fitting ending to the trilogy and it was nice that everything was wrapped up but at times I just wanted to book to be over. This one didn't grab my attention as much as the first two, I guess since there were less dramatic confrontations. Also, does Blomkvist sleep with every woman he does business with?!? Seriously!

WOW! This is the best book in the series! I wish there was more to come. There are a must read, but rated R, so keep it away from anyone under 21!
