Just finished reading the final book in the Tattoo Girl trilogy. Read the first book while visiting sister in Alaska in mid-December -- I was hooked. Read "Played with Fire" in January -- another good read. When I received third book "Kicked the Hornet's Nest" and started to read it took me forever to get into it. Had it in Ogallala in early March -- but chose to quilt instead -- just couldn't focus on the reading. On second trip in March to Ogallala finished the book. Once I got past all of the "background", which was pretty in depth-- I was again hooked on Lisbeth Salander.
There are some pretty graphic scene descriptions and the language was rather rough at times. However, if it had all been sugar-coated the impact would not have been the same. I suggest reading the book(s)before seeing any "Tattoo Girl" movie. This trilogy is a far cry from any of the "Nancy Drew" mysteries I read in my youth!!!
If you like drama, action, suspense, mystery, espionage ... these three books are a good read. Unfortunately the author, Stieg Larsson, died shortly after delivering the trilogy to his editor...and I think his style of writing will be missed.
