The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest (original title in Swedish: Luftslottet som sprängdes, lit. 'The castle in the air that blew up') is the third novel in the best-selling Millennium series by Swedish writer Stieg Larsson. It was published in Swedish in 2007; in English, in the UK, in October 2009; and in the US and Canada on 25 May 2010. The three novels in the series, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2005), The Girl Who Played with Fire (2006), and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest were written by Stieg Larsson before being shown to a publisher and were published posthumously after his fatal heart attack in 2004. Additionally, all three novels were adapted as films.

Once I started this book, I could not put it down. I read it almost obsessively. Damn, it was good. The plot of the trilogy ties perfectly together. It is the most satisfying justice porn. The whole series, including this book, is riddled with amazingly clever social critique, but it never once feels like lecturing because it is skillfully woven into the story and expressed by the characters, not the narrator. This is a very thought-provoking and extremely entertaining book (and series.)

After reading the Millennium trilogy, I have immense respect for Stieg Larsson. Rest in peace. You did very well.

Review of 'Vergebung' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Gelungener Abschluss der Trilogie, alle offenen Fäden wurden zusammengeführt. Durchweg spannend, obwohl man (fast) zu jedem Zeitpunkt weiß, was die jeweiligen Parteien vorhaben. Sehr zufriedenstellendes Ende, besonders wenn man bereits während der vorherigen Teile mitgefiebert hat, auch wenn sich das Buch auch als Einzelwerk recht gut lesen würde.

This is the third book in Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy, the others being [b:The 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] and [b:The girl who played with fire|5060378|The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium, #2)|Stieg Larsson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255570680s/5060378.jpg|6976108]. While there is something of a gap between the first book and the second, this one carried on right from where the second one leaves off, so if you've read the second book, don't wait too long before reading this one, because it is in effect one long book in two volumes. Leaving it too long might mean that you forget some important elements of the plot.

I also think that this one is by far the best of the three.

I won't describe it, because saying too much would probably be a spoiler for the second book if you haven't read it. I didn't learn much from it, …
