The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larsson
Swedish journalist Stieg Larsson has taken a short time to turn into a worldwide sensation. The first volume of his Millennium trilogy was only sold in Sweden when it was published in 2005. Then came the English version of the third volume of the trilogy by the title “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” and all hell broke loose. The book has received the same amount of security as had the publishing of Harry Potter series. The author had very interestingly ended the second volume on a note of suspense where the heroine by name Lisbeth Salander was suspended between life and death. The curiosity of the readers was naturally waiting to be whetted.
The heroine had been declared a mentally incompetent person and dispatched to a cruel institution when she was a child. This is the threat which she faces in the final volume written by Larsson before his sudden death in 2004. There is drama and suspense too in the story where Lisbeth is charged with murder of her father, while she has in her favour the help from a hospital doctor and an editor of the Millennium Magazine. How does the editor set up a communication with Lisbeth crossing the barriers placed by the security is another nerve gripping description that the author takes the readers through.
Larsson displays his concerns about the Swedish democracy and the prevailing scenario of hatred towards women in his writing. The final volume solves the mystery and intrigue that he had set up in his first two books. Making the grown up Lisbeth into a highly abused person coming across well known characters makes for the first number of pages in the final volume and then the story once again takes on the road of drama, suspense and intrigue.
Larsson proves himself to have great talent in writing crime fiction, his work is like explosive diesel.
