The stunning third and final novel in Stieg Larsson's internationally best-selling trilogy
Lisbeth Salander--the heart of Larsson's two previous novels--lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge--against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.
Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2010 As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned. --Dave Callanan

Great Book.......:
Another great book in this series. I found it a little slow in the beginning just because there were a lot of facts and background being introduced. Stick with it though it all ties together down the road about half way through found I couldn't put it down and was along for the ride. Love, Love, Love Lisbeth Salander. I am just sad this is possibly the "last" book in the series. This book did not disappoint and was very happy I stuck with it!!
I didn't love it, but you should probably read it anyhow.:
I was late to the party with the first book in the Millennium series, and even then, it wasn't an instant love affair. I really enjoyed the first two books, but I found there were parts that seemed more uneven than others, and even moments in the characters and plot which gave me serious pause. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest made roughly the same impression on me. I found it fantastically entertaining, but not wholly satisfying. Lisbeth Salander in particular began to grate on my sensibilities... more info
Excellent Read:
This is my final read for the Millineum Trilogy and frankly i find it to be the best of the three. It is hard to put the book down. Quite frankly i am sad the author has passed away. I will miss Lisabeth and Mikael.
Could not put it down:
It's a great read, as are the first two novels in the trilogy. The writing (and translation) are superb, the twists and turns exciting. Most importantly, it makes the reader think about good and evil, decision-making in organizations and society, and the legacies of corruption in government.
