Ruthi's sister sent us the hard back copy of "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" (the 3rd in the series) by Stieg Larsson. Ruthi finished it while the kids were at Yosemite for a school trip!!! Then boots dug into it. Again, these are books that cause the reader to shut out the rest of the world for he hours/days it takes to get form page 1 to the end.
Ruthi and Boots had mixed emotions getting into the book. Lisbeth seemed again to be in a position of great vulnerability and needed to be the only one to protect herself. Until page 129 (don't want to give away any of the great plot), Ruthi was reading with bated breath!! Then ruthi was able to charge forward with more hope of a better future for Lisbeth. When Lisbeth's brother was not found, Ruthi "thought what a great segue" into a 4th novel in the series. Though considering the angst of reading, maybe it’s just as well there isn’t a 4th. Both Boots and ruthi think reading the 3 books in a row would have been better. Waiting so long to get to this one (our own fault though) really made the terror high pitched!!
We still highly recommend the trilogy!!!!!
