Although I loved the first two books in the trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest was a bit of a disappointment. Lisbeth Salandar is in the hospital recovering from the bullet wounds she suffered in the previous book, and her friends are all working to clear her name. Meanwhile, her vicious father still wants her dead and her homicidal brother is on the loose.
The story bogs down while Larsson explains Swedish constitutional law and politics, and there's a whole unnecessary side plot involving Erica Berger. Still, it's a must read for fans of the first two books.
Stieg Larsson passed away before this book was published. I will miss Lisbeth Salandar!
