I kept putting off reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest for several reasons. First, because I knew it was the last one and there’s no more coming ever since the author’s passed away. Second, because these books tend to be heavy on the violence and I generally need time to recover. And third because I knew it would be a fast, engrossing read and wanted to save it for a time when I needed that.
So I finally read it. And I loved it. I am a fan of Lisbeth and I loved the second and third books way more than the first because they were so much more centered around her. I still think the second is my favorite but I liked this one quite a bit as well. If you’re like me and gave up after number one, i encourage you to give 2 and 3 a shot. They are considerably better than the first.
I have to agree with you on the books. I loved them all. The first was the hardest for me to get into but once I had got reading I couldn’t stopped. Read them one after another.
I loved the twists in the story – you thought you’d worked it and then something else happens which changes it all.
Starting to reading the Gifts of Imperfection on your recommendation. Can I recommend to you a book “Living a Life That Matters” – Harold Kushner. Similar as its looking at the important things in life.
I loved these books and also am very sad that they are all we will ever read by this wonderful author.
I loved this series, too. I think the second book was my favorite, except for the cliff hanger ending. I’m looking forward to the movie, yet I don’t want it to ruin the story for me (since movies haven’t ever been as good as the book for me).
Three is on my bookshelf. The next snowstorm, I’ll crack it open. Since we’ve been having them weekly, it won’t be long. Thanks for the recommendation. I loved one and two! I also wish there were more.
