In Stieg Larsson's THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE, the second installment in his Millennium Trilogy, it opens with protagonists Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander world's apart, literally. But just like THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, both Blomkvist and Salander are drawn together in a riveting m...

I prefer to read original language rather than translation, am suspicious of sudden hits, rarely read crime novels, and virtually never start a series partway through. In this case, however, I needed some thick travel books for a long layover, and I took what was available at home - the final two bo...

As with the first book, it took a good 200 pages before this one gripped me, but when it did, it really did.

I liked this book but didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first one. I found it didn't flow as well and there were so many characters that I got slightly confused at times with who was who.However I would still recommend people read it (as part of the trilogy) and I'm interested to see what happens...
