Libro discontinuo: a volte il racconto procede veloce e serrato,a volte si blocca in intermezzi noiosi che nulla aggiungono alla trama ma al contrario l'appesantiscono, a tratti è francamente stucchevole. A questo si aggiunga che Lisbet Salander ancor più che nel primo libro è descritta come una wonder woman capace di sopravvivere a qualsiasi situazione e persino in grado di risolvere Fermat (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimo_teorema_di_Fermat) prima d'essere sparata alla testa e risorgere dalla tomba. (  ) gfonte | Mar 15, 2014 |  Originally posted at Novel Reveries "She fantasized about a gasoline can and a match." (710) Such intense suspense! The tables are turned and the search is on for Lisbeth Salander, wanted in a string of murders. With several groups looking for her, (The Millennium crew, The Milton Security firm, some thugs and of course, The Police,) her image is being dragged through filth as she is on the run to save herself. With a plot weaved in murder, sex trafficking, and conspiracy we get a more in depth view of Salander's life and how she got to where she's at. Is she guilty? "Nobody was innocent. There were only varying degrees of responsibility." (583) I really love how this book really got up and personal with everyone, explaining just about every person in the book's backstory and relationships. When Lisbeth Salander became the main focus, that's when the plot really took off. Although this book's plot is entirely different from the first book, I enjoyed the continuity of the characters. I enjoyed how it began with a seemingly complex mystery of murder and exposure before dwindling down to a simple person connecting everything, especially Salander. There were a lot of surprises and thrills that, especially since we get to know the characters so well, rocked my emotions. That ending is tortuous and makes me want to immediately pick up and read the next book of the series. If you loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, then you need to read this!

Then she threw in a burning match." (667) (  ) Dnaej | Mar 14, 2014 | Originally posted at Novel Reveries "She fantasized about a gasoline can and a match." (710) Such intense suspense!

 When a novel moves or affects me deeply, I think about it when I’m walking around. I don’t find myself thinking about The Girl Who Played With Fire, but while I was reading it, I was useless until I got to the end. In retrospect, my experience of the book, like it’s characters, seems unreal. As, of course, it was. When Larsson gets down to the business of telling a story, he tells a nerve-tingling tale. For all the complications of the melodramatic story, which advances at a brisk, violently cinematic clip in Reg Keeland’s translation, it’s clear where Larsson’s strongest interests lie — in his heroine and the ill-concealed attitudes she brings out in men. Mr. Larsson’s two central characters, Salander and Blomkvist, transcend their genre and insinuate themselves in the reader’s mind through their oddball individuality, their professional competence and, surprisingly, their emotional vulnerability.  What follows is a combination of urgent, multilayered thriller, traditional police procedural and articulate examination of the way a supposedly open-minded country like Sweden treats both its vulnerable women and children in care.

No descriptions found. On the eve of publisher Mikael Blomkvist's story about sex trafficking between Eastern Europe and Sweden, two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Mikael Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander, the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid years before. Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behaviour makes her an official danger to society; but no-one can find her anywhere. Meanwhile, Mikael will not believe what he hears on the news. Knowing Salander to be fierce when fearful, he is desperate to get to her before she is cornered and alone. He vows to clear the girl's name and find the true killer.… (more) |
