The Girl Who Played with Fire – Review
After reading The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, by Stieg Larsson, the Lit Ladies Book Club enthusiastically picked its sequel for the next month.
The Girl Who Played with Fire is even better than Dragon Tatoo. It jumps right in to the fascinating life of Lisbeth Salander and gives readers a much better look into what makes our heroine tick. The story winds nicely back into the life of Mikael Blomkvist though his role is much less pivotal this go around.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Many of the Lit Ladies pointed out that Dragon Tattoo started a bit slow and the Swedish street names and locations made for cumbersome reading at times. We were definitely over those minor complaints in The Girl Who Played with Fire. The story is engrossing for page one and by the end, I was hiding in a quiet corner of my house devouring every word. I cannot wait to get my hands on the The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest when it is released in the United States on May 25th.
