The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

This book was very difficult to get through. The first one, was amazing I read that pretty fast, the second I read basically to the very end on the edge of my seat and then stopped before finishing it a year later due to some other factors.

This one however, felt painful. Of course I wanted to know how the series ends, and what happens to everyone but it was just too long. Too much details that weren't necessary that I think were supposed to add suspense. I fell asleep reading this book way too many times. When I get really into a book nothing will keep me from finishing it, even staying up all night, but this was not the case. I hated the random little side issues with Berger, and how that was resolved. It didn't add to the story at all. Her leaving Millennium and then coming back at the end of the book felt useless to be honest. We could have been just fine without any Berger in this book. I understand that part of it was to make Blomkvist become less of a womanizer and the way to do that would be for him to reject her once he starts dating Figuerola but honestly at that point I really didn't care about his personal life and wanted to see what happens to Lisbeth and the trial and Niedermann.

Overall I felt that at least it wrapped up most things so I wasn't left annoyed and wanting more but not actually wanting to read anymore.
