The Girl Who Played With Fire


It has been a long weekend of reading and listening.  Trying to read between listening is not an easy thing to do.  But sequel to the good read of a few weeks ago… this time, part 2.  You know they always say the second book is not as good as the first, not so here. I thought book two was actually better.  The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson was a continuation of the first story, same characters but much more focused on the implications of the early life of Lisbeth Salander.  One always needs to pay attention to each of those little hints from the first story and guess what, they come out as important elements later on.  Nothing like thrillers that have turns at every corner.  I have had a great week of books to read/listen to this past week or so.  Another bestselling book from the list.  This one focuses on the story of exposing sex trafficking, though that is really a cover for the history of Lisbeth’s growing up and connecting the dots.  I don’t want to give too much information on this one, other than to say I really enjoyed it.  You can’t put this down.  I love the sexual triangle that pits Lisbeth and her two lovers, Mikael and Miriam.  Mystery, intrigue, and surprises all throughout.  I hope RAs place the last book on the list!!!  Buy this book!
