title: the girl who kicked the hornet's nest
author: stieg larsson
personal star rating: 4/5 stars

from the back cover:
Lisbeth Salander - the heart of Larsson's two previous novels - lies in critical condition in the intensive care unit of a Swedish 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 journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will have to prove her innocence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge. Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

first sentence:
"Dr. Jonasson was woken by a nurse five minutes before the helicopter was expected to land."

review:
In the final installment in the Millennium trilogy, we get the conclusion of the Salander story. I found this to be the book i didn't like as much as the other two. It was still remarkably mysterious but I found it didn't have as much impact as the first and definitely not as much as the second. I found that the loose ends tied up in an unexpected way. However, I was not disappointed for a minute. There were a lot of interesting plot twists and turns and I was constantly surprised. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot.
