The Girl Who Played with Fire by Manolo Carot, Rachel Zerner, Sylvain Runberg, Stieg Larsson

2.0

Finally finished this after not one, but two hiatuses. One was a year and a half, the other was from over 10 years ago! I guess that says something when you don't come back so a book for so long. That being said, I think that for me that mostly has to do with not reading a lot of mystery/thrillers as well as the very tough themes of this one and all of the hate and bias that is thrown at Lisabeth (and anyone who associates with her). The sheer amount of people who judge her is painful, and I know that the book is showing this to show how it's not right to do this. I just find that a very uncomfortable place to be, and so many horrific thoughts, actions and occurances, it's just not something I like to read. At all. It just isn't a good fit for me.

I think this series is more suited to people who enjoy stories that are about justice and/or vengeance, which isn't me.

As I have seen the original film trilogy, I have enough of a sense to know where this is going and I can feel complete with leaving the book series here. It was a huge effort and a long time coming to finish this title, and I feel accomplished that I finally made it through.
