review 1: The Millennium Trilogy (comprising of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest) by Stieg Larsson’s that was translated by Reg Keeland is truly a masterpiece! From secret, lies, and betrayal to violence, abuse and exploitation, the Millennium trilogy explores several dark and disturbing truths regarding gender violence, government and politics. The leading characters Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist are morally upright individuals who unfailingly stand up for the truth. You will cringe and cry at several of the graphic descriptions of the violence against women. And what pains more is the realization that even though you are reading a work of fiction, the issues being discussed are very much true. And if... more you are a woman, after reading this series, you’ll want to walk around with a knife or pepper spray for self-defense! This series is definitely for mature readers and I personally would not recommend it for anyone under the age of 20!
review 2: Nancy says:When I finished listening to Dragon Tattoo, I immediately requested The Girl Who Played with Fire. I’m still waiting but reviews tell me that Salander takes center stage in the second Blomkvist/Salander thriller. Her prints are discovered on the gun that murdered 2 journalists who are about to publish an article exposing the sex trafficking business. Blomkvist investigates the murder and hopes to clear Salander’s name. I am going to have to wait till May 2010 for Volume 3, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest to be released in the United States. If the other 2 volumes are anything like the first, I know I won’t be able to put them down. Warning…these dark, moody, violent thrillers are not for the faint-hearted. less
