Salander is plotting her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.
I'm not too sure how I feel about this one. The story kicks off right after the ending of the second novel, but it seems to go painfully slow. Larsson's writing remains the same, for the most part, but it almost feels rushed at parts. There are plots within that don't quite get finished or not mentioned again. Her sister is still a mystery, unless I missed something. There's what I would call an unnecessary love story in the midst of it all. There were certain things that happened that I wished didn't because I would have felt it would have been more interesting. The story itself goes from dull, to highly interesting, to in between and so on. The ending didn't really feel finished to me. Over all, I did enjoy it enough to be able to finish it. So... I guess that says something? (Better review may come once I'm at a real computer.)
