The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

Wow! I love a page-turner, and this was a great one. I read the first in this trilogy last year ( see 2008 entries), enjoyed it okay, but this one was REALLY good, so much better than the first one, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. My only criticism is that the author assumed you had read the first book; I did, but I had forgotten a lot of the details of Lisbeth's earlier experiences. She's a wonderful heroine, completely mystifying to those around her, and she goes through a lot in this book for sure. I enjoy thrillers when they're well-written, which means you just can't surmise what happened and you have to keep reading- you want to- to find out. Great stuff!!
