Work detailsThe Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson (2006)
I love the character of the girl and the intricate explanation of how she has adapted to her circumstances. (  ) Candl | Jun 6, 2013 |  After finishing The [b:Girl With the Dragon Tattoo|2429135|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)|Stieg Larsson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275608878s/2429135.jpg|1708725], I couldn't wait to listen to the sequel The Girl who Played with Fire. I saved it for vacation and was not disappointed. The first book leaves you wondering about Lisbeth Salander's life and wanting more of this intriguing character. This sequel focuses more on Lisbeth's life and past history. I love Larsson's gritty dialog and clever plot twists - a mystery author who goes way beyond plot, he has created another literary suspense novel. Although I didn't like it as much as 'Tattoo', it was a wonderful listen. Can't wait until the final book comes out this year... and narrated by Simon Vance! (  ) jmoncton | Jun 3, 2013 | La historia en esta parte está más interesante que la primera. Lo acabo de terminar y me dejó helada. Es fenomenal! Buenísima la trama. ( ) Amemur | May 31, 2013 | I liked this book more than the first entry in the series. Kind of disappointed with cliffhanger ending though, I don't like that trick in books and don't think it carries over well from television and film. I am definitely interested in reading the third in the series now. ( ) swelsh20 | May 29, 2013 | Fan.tas.tic! Loved this book so much more than [b:The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo|6620989|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)|Stieg Larsson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1249217009s/6620989.jpg|1708725]. Lisbeth is the one character that draws me in and keeps me wanting to know more. ( ) lesmel | May 21, 2013 |
 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. Two reporters responsible for a sex-trafficking exposé are murdered, and the fingerprints on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander, prompting the magazine's publisher, Mikael Blomkvist, to launch his own investigation to vindicate Salander.
