The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson (Millennium #2)



“Salander was the woman who hated men who hate women.” 
Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Played with Fire

A compelling mind blowing crime drama!

It’s been really long since I read a crime novel this good. I am officially a Stieg Larsson’s fan now. It’s sad he’s no longer here to share more of his stories. Anyways. Fire (#2) is definitely much better than Tattoo (#1). No difficult historical family names to remember and no unrealistic far fetched ideas. The plot is damn intriguing. My heart almost skipped a beat when the book ended on such an important twist. So yes I am now dying to read the Hornet’s Nest (#3)! This book is sort of a Lisbeth biography. You get a fair insight into her troublesome past and her relations.

Honestly, this book has left me with so many thoughts in general; actually about MEN particularly and also what it must feel like to be a constant prey to a MAN’s violence. What it must feel like to be around a misogynist man?? The thought itself makes me shudder.

Read this book for an intriguing drama and the excellent development on the Lisbeth character. I give it 5 stars.

P.S.: Also thankfully like the first book  the characters were no longer stuffing coffee and sandwiches like it was there staple food. Yes! There was some overdose of coffee but I think that’s okay if you are policeman working late hours. I am hoping that in the next book I would actually see that characters are eating some REAL food like dinner and lunch and not just surviving on the espresso machine.
