The Girl Who Played With Fire
Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. Two Millennium journalists about to expose the truth about sex trafficking in Sweden are murdered, and Salander's prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behaviour makes her an official danger to society ndash; but no-one can find her. Mikael Blomkvist, editor-in-chief of Millennium, does not believe the police. Using all his magazine staff and resources to prove Salander's innocence, Blomkvist also uncovers her terrible past, spent in criminally corrupt institutions. Yet Salander is more avenging angel than helpless victim. She may be an expert at staying out of sight ndash; but she has ways of tracking down her most elusive enemies.

The story of Lisbeth seemed to take a back seat to the other subplots. Frankly, I didn't like this novel at all. In the end, I skimmed to find Lisbeth's story. Friends tell me the backstory in this novel is needed to understand the last novel in the trilogy. After this read I did lost interest in the series. I'm sure now that the series won't endure past the hype surrounding it at the moment.

A novel needs more than a confronting story line to keep my interest. The writing needs to be artful. Something was lost in translation otherwise why did it sell so well in Sweden. The offbeat characters remained names on the page. Bloomkvist defintely unattractive so his appeal never made sense. Overall the chracterisation is external and provides no insight into any of the characters. If you're read the first novel, borrow this one - don't waste your money!
