Plot summary
Lisbeth Salander is wanted for a triple murder. All three victims are connected to a trafficking exposé about to be published in Mikael Blomqvist’s magazine Millenium, and Lisbeth’s fingerprints are on the weapon.
Lisbeth vanishes to avoid capture by the justice. Mikael, not believing the police, is despairingly trying to clear her name, using all his resources and the staff of his magazine. During this process, Mikael discovers Lisbeth’s past, a terrible story of abuse and traumatizing experiences growing up in the Swedish care system.
When he eventually finds her, it’s only to discover that she is far more entangled in his initial investigation of the sex industry than he could ever imagine.

Liked the 1st and 3rd, too much useless sex in 2nd. Stick to thriller. bordered on usless sex too in 1st novel. We get she was messed up, but most wild young girls sleep with young men, sorry old men its true.

OK, how does Blomquist find the ranch/farm at the end of the movie, when all he has is a PO Box , not a street address??

The second book in the Millennium Trilogy is quite simply, fantastic. The minute I cracked open the spine I couldn't put it down for long. Kicking the story off with Salander's new life reeled me in totally as any scene with her in it is a genuine reading pleasure. I'm not going to include any spoilers in my review, but reading 'The Girl who Played with Fire' is like watching a non-stop thriller/action movie that is playing out in your mind.
Some people have remarked that the book's shaping of characters as well as certain plot elements are too unbelievable and far-fetched, for eg., Salander's 'Superwoman' powers and 'return' from the dead; her half-brother's medical condition that prevents him from feeling pain. Well, I don't share those sentiments -- come on folks, it's just fiction! And, like movies, don't books (especially fiction) serve some form of escapism?
I was aware that the book ended with a cliffhanger, so I bought the third in advance before I finished the second. I'm glad I did, because immediately after I'd turned the last page, I jumped right into 'The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest'.
Well, that was yesterday night. I've started on the first chapter of 'Hornets' Nest' with mixed emotions... I can't wait to read how the story unfolds, but at the same time, I can't bear the thought that this is Larsson's premature sign-off. Meanwhile, I'm also apprehensive that the third book will not be as good as the preceding two, and I'm praying that I won't be disappointed.
Had he lived, I'm sure the Millennium series would become as hugely popular and famous as Robert Jordan's 'The Wheel of Time' fantasy epic. Jordan himself died before he could write the conclusion, but, like Larsson, he had made notes and the concluding books could thus be published. I'm hoping then, that Larsson's fourth book (and possibly more) might eventually see the light of the day. I agree that the author's style is important, but since Larsson's works have been translated into English, English-speaking readers will never grasp nor appreciate his original writing fully -- and so it is the plot of the books that overall matter much more.
And what we want is more of Larsson's brilliant ideas, so never mind who is tasked with writing them. Fans would simply love to know Stieg's train of thought and his vision for his series (how it would pan out, the fate of the characters).
It's just not good enough telling his legions of fans that we should be content with his three books and they are better than one or nothing. If Larsson did leave plot outlines for the remaining books, they should only be fulfilled by being fleshed out and published. Let's honour his legacy by completing what he started!
My only regret is that I've now become hopelessly addicted to Stieg Larsson's novels, and that there are no more forthcoming to get my fix. I feel almost robbed.

In my life I really never had a favorite book in fiction or movie for that matter. I can say you blew me away by the books and movies. I want more and more after that. Please don't ever stop writing you are dam good at it. Very few writers has that thing in there writing that just soaks you in the book. Again my hat is way off to you.
