freshlybrewedbookreviews: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larsson “When it comes down to it, this story is not primarily about spies and secret government agencies; it’s about violence against women and the men who enable it.” Stieg, why did you have to leave us? In losing Larsson, we have lost a brilliant writer. Although I was not as keen about The Girl Who Played with Fire as I was about The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, I thoroughly loved The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. The conclusion to the trilogy  is stunning, combining government conspiracies, courtroom drama, and endangered human lives into one glorious, fast-paced novel. The last time I was this enthralled with a thriller was the first of the trilogy: much like the first, I had to have my nose in this book almost constantly, my ever-present companion. I won’t say anything regarding plot so as not to spoil the ending for future readers, but I will say that the hype is there for a reason, and this book definitely delivers. We can only hope that someday, the manuscript that Larsson died while writing will one day be released. Until that day, re-reading these three will have to suffice. Not sure if I ever posted this review here, so sharing now (or again!)
