The Girl Who Played with Fire by Manolo Carot, Rachel Zerner, Sylvain Runberg, Stieg Larsson
4.0
Good story again by Larsson. Keeps you turning page after page. The only disappointing thing so far with the first two books in this trilogy is for 80% of the book all the mystery and intrigue is built up then, BAM, all the pieces come together so fast and quick it feels uneventful. Sorta leaves you wanting more. But again there is just something I can't quite put my finger on with these books I find so addicting. I'm still amazed at how much coffee these people in Sweden drink....not as crazy as in the first book but damn close and how these people aren't all obese with all the junk food they eat, pan pizza everyday, McDonalds, latte after latte....etc......and lets not skip a meal regardless of the drama or craziness thats going on around you, there's always time for a late lunch, oh, and a latte.
And with paragraphs like this in the book how can you not be interested....."Then she opened her cardboard boxes from Lundagatan and put away books, magazines, clippings, and old research papers that she probably should have thrown away. Without any regret, she discarded her old T-shirts and socks with holes in them. Suddenly she found a dildo, still in its original box. She smiled wryly. It had been one of those freaky birthday presents from Mimmi. She had entirely forgotten that she had it and had never even tried it. She decided to rectify that situation and set the dildo on her bedside table."
All kidding aside, these have been good books so far and I look forward to reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest next.
