Cover Description: Lisbeth Salander will have her revenge - against the men who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that nearly succeeded in deliberately destroying her life.

The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is the third novel in the Millennium series, and I must say even better than the first two books. This series is original and captivating. I eagerly awaiting the release of this novel and was so happy not to be disappointed. The story is fast paced, quick witted and (SPOILER) has a happy, wrapped up with a little bow ending. It was perfect. I loved the ride and when I grow up I want to be Lisbeth Salander (or Angelina Jolie but that is for entirely different reasons). Loved it, Loved it, Loved it, if it wasn't due back at the library ASAP I would read it again and again. In fact I want to read the entire series again back to back, just to get my Dragon Tattoo fix. Highly recommend.
I am very sad that there will not be any more books by this orginal author.
