cdjones 's review for:
The Girl Who Played with Fire
by Stieg Larsson
I read this immediately after the first book. It was a good idea. The pacing of the story is completely different than the first book. For starters, there is no mystery that our characters are called in to solve, but rather, shocking events that affect the characters directly and they then must deal with them. Without spoiling it, the middle third of the book carries quite a dramatic tension for the reader, and once that is over it never really feels settled. That whole suspense was a brilliant stroke of the writing pen by Larsson. I found myself cleaning through 100 pages in a sitting until the book was over. Once again, expect some violent imagery and plausible, although not entirely clever, plot twists. The end of this leads directly into the third book, not as a cliff hanger, but as an obvious transition.
