The Girl Who Played with Fire: A Dragon Tattoo story.

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest follows on from book two in the Millennium series, The Girl Who Played With Fire.It picks up right where the second book left of and has a similar pace. By similar pace, I mean that the first third of this book is a slow build.

The two protagonists of The Girl Who Played With Fire remain the same as in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Lisbeth Salander makes a re-appearance in this book, in a slightly more shapely form, after a bust enhancement surgery.

Stieg Larsson was an amazing author, and the manifestation of that conclusion continues to be so. For example, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO featured a fascinating character named Plague, who barely appears in THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE; though he plays an important role, he is barely present for two pages. A lesser or intellectually.

Sequels are rarely as good as the originals and The Girl Who Played With Fire is no exception. Salander is still in fine form, but the structural strengths of Tattoo have gotten flabby. It takes the better part of 200 pages for the lengthy story, centering on the Swedish sex trade, to take off.

I've read Stieg Larsson's whole trilogy and loved it. The first movie based on the books, Men Who Hate Women (or Girl With a Dragon Tattoo), was excellent, and this one, The Girl Who Played With Fire, is even better. It's a fast-paced, tough, smart and exciting movie and its living, breathing soul is the enticing character of Lisbeth Salander.

This is the second book in the Millennium trilogy by the Swedish author Stieg Larsson. It continues a year after the first book, and starts with re-introducing all the characters from the first book. It’s nice to get an update on what they have done before the action starts. I thought this book had.

This month I finally jumped on the bandwagon and read Stieg Larsson’s The Girl Who Played With Fire. It is part two in the Swedish crime thriller Millenium trilogy, in which sex trafficking is an underlying theme. The back of the book invites readers to step into an engaging storyline.

In this adrenaline-charged, up-to-the-moment political thriller, Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist are back. The troubled genius hacker and crusading journalist thrilled the world in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, which have sold more than 80 million copies worldwide.

Joanne Leddington 30 July 2009. The Girl Who Played with Fire is the second book in Stieg Larsson's excellent Millennium trilogy, the first book being The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the final, as yet unpublished in English, book being The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

Stieg Larsson is probably one of the most interesting and intriguing modern writers I know about. Not only are his novels including The Girl Who Played with Fire published only after his death in 2004, he didn't even have any plans in having them published, ever.
