Millennium Weekend
On Wednesday the second two books of the Millennium books arrived. I've been obsessively absorbed by them since. Thankfully I'm now done so I can get back to all the others things I should have been doing these past few days.
The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The action teeters on the absurd at times but only slightly distracts from this page turning sequel. Salander is back with a vengeance and takes center stage as the story of her fleshes out wonderfully.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A marvelous conclusion to the Millennium trilogy. Many of the loose ends I found distracting in the earlier books were combined into a cunning mix of espionage, journalism, and hacking that found a dramatic satisfying closure.
