Summary
Salander is plotting her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release.
With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.
Critic reviews
"With the spiky and sassy Lisbeth Salander - punkish wild child, traumatised survivor of the 'care' system, sexual adventurer and computer hacker of genius - Larsson created the most original heroine to emerge in crime fiction for many years." (The Independent)
"Complex, satisfying, clever, moral...a grown-up novel for grown-up readers...this is why the Millennium Trilogy is rightly a publishing phenomenon all over the world." (Kate Mosse)

Excellent listen
I was wary of the length of this when I first downloaded but I had enjoyed the previous 2 books in the trilogy so had to finish it off. I can honestly say that the length was never an issue as, right from the start, I found the story gripping. It definitely helps to have read the first 2 simply to understand the relationship between the characters but even with that I still found myself struggling to remember certain events described. It doesn't matter in the least as it doesn't interupt the flow of the story and I was thoroughly entertained throughout. In the end I was disppointed there wasn't more! I would highly recommend this book.

Exciting Listen
This is good holiday listening. It is well read and enjoyable. I have not read the two earlier books in this trilogy but was still able to enjoy this as a standalone story, the plot of the previous two unfold as you go through. I would recommend this and suspect the other two are also worth a listen.

Amazing, gripped beging to end
If you could sum up The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest in three words, what would they be?
These book are full of suspense, action and you really want the character to win. It's does make you question who is really the victim and who should die. I'm not really into books that contain politics or gov plots, but this was so insightful and really keeps you hooked. Would recommend reading all three books to get a full picture of the characters and the only difficulty I had was keep up the with names of different characters.
Those who looking a love story, prob won't like this series but those who enjoy a good plot that doesn't give you an obvious journey or ending- you will be hooked.
It is a true shame he died and Larsson knew how to write a story.
enjoy

Couldn't put any of them down! Amazing series
Amazing, gripping story lines, incredible, unpredictable characters, fast paced, ingenious.
Couldn't put it down, walked the dog for longer than necessary, cooked extra meals, only to have reasons to keep on listening, while at the same time, dreading the speed I was listening at and the end getting near.
On all 3 books of the series.
Excellent!

This is the best trilogy I've ever read. I bought all 3 books as a gift for my wife's birthday and she couldn't let them go untill she finished reading them. I was captivated by what she was telling me about the books and because of this i started reading the first two. For the last one, The girl who kicked the hornets nest, I was busy working every day so I purchased the audiobook from Audible.co.uk and I don't regret it. Saul Reichlin's performance was EXCELLENT.
