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

 Loved it, great ending September 4, 2010
V. M. Simmons-pitt (Armstrong, B.C. Canada)
Super finish, super series hate when it finished. What do I read now? Where is Lizabeth's sister? The last dangling question. Will we ever know? Everyone got their rewards.She got her justice.
I cannot say good enough stuff about this finish up book.
An enthralling page turner!!! September 4, 2010
John Shortall
Loved the series and this conclusion does the series justice. It amazes me how Stieg is able to introduce fascinating new elements to each book and keep us enthralled. I was a trifle disappointed with a couple of details in the conclusion but even more disappointed to realise that it is now over for the series and the author. Thanks Stieg for the great series!
Great read, don't want the trilogy to end August 25, 2010

The last book in the millenium trilogy is as good as the first 2 books. It's great reading. It's sad that the trilogy ends here and we won't hear any more from these amazingly rich characters that we've come to know so well. I'd like to keep on reading about them. All 3 books are fabulous page turners, I could not put them down. I've seen the first 2 movies and can't wait to see the third based on this final book.
I LOVE IT!! August 18, 2010

What a kickass heroine Lizbeth Salendar is!! I absolutely love her for her fighting spirit. This is without a doubt the best trilogy I'd ever come across.
Stieg Larsson was a genius. I love his writings, how he takes us into a Sweden that very many of us didn't know about and he wrote about things that not only what he knew and made it his Modus operandi and he certainly wrote an intriguing, impossibly stunning and incredible series.
I'd been hooked on his first two books and although I had been busy when his third book came out. I waited till I was on holidays and I couldn't put the book down!! I wanted so badly to read it without any interruptions and boy it was so worth it!!
I do hope that Stieg's companion Eva Gabrielsson is allowed and can carry on his legacy. If he's got another ten books, keep it coming.
 Least favourite of the series August 10, 2010
Lindsay Marshall (Toronto, ON)
I cannot agree with the rave reviews that this book is receiving. In my opinion, it was the worst in the series, and I had to force myself to read it. I could've taken a red pen to much of it, and eliminated at least 200 pages, if not more. There is so much superfluous material in this book, as well as the first 2 books, that they could've been cut down into 2 books, as opposed to 3.
This book is mainly wrap-up of the events that occured in the 2nd book, and the ending is so predictable, that it felt pointless to push through all of the useless Swedish names and places (which were extremely difficult to keep track of). I felt that Salander alienated herself even more, especially while she was on trial for her crimes, and instead of liking her more, I couldn't wait for the book to end so I didn't have to read any more of her ridiculous shenanigans, about the limited amount of food she eats (Billy's Pan Pizza anyone?), her trips around Sweden on public transit, or her endless pouting and doom & gloom.
I thought this book ended the series on a very low note, instead of the high that resulted from the first book. I disagree that it's one of the best series--I'm still giving that title to Harry Potter.
