The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest/Stieg Larsson/563 p

This is the third and final book of the powerful "Millenium Trilogy" which was released after the author's death and includes "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Girl Who Played with Fire".  The books and the movies were first released in Sweden, reaching great popularity and then made their way to the US.  The books are contemporary crime fiction and are pretty descriptive, not for the light-hearted. The author writes with great detail and sometimes I would get bored with the background on Swedish politics and government. But the story he tells and the characters he creates will keep you on the edge of your seat. Everything comes together in this final book for  the savvy investigative journalist and the kick-some-butt misfit who finally get their revenge, not only against the men who tried to kill her but also the government institutions that kept her hostage and nearly ruined her life.
