Book Review of The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millenium, Bk 2)

The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millenium, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


When I finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I wasn't sure about continuing the series, but did so based on the rave reviews and friends who had previously read The Girl who Played with Fire. Now can't wait to read the next installment.

All the things that I disliked about Larsson's first books (multiple plots, periods of slow set-up) were not an issue in this fast pace book that continues the story of Lisabeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. And everything I loved about the first book (strong characters, intriguing plot, depth of knowledge about the subject) continues in Larsson's second novel. The only complainant I have about the book is that it is hard to keep track of the characters especially since they are mainly referred to by their last names and most of which begins with B, S, or N.
