When Lisbeth Salander wakes up in a hospital bed, she finds herself in custody for attempted murder, as well as, other charges.
The first half of the book consisted of a lot of rambling. I was tired of hearing descriptions and backstory that if I weren't listening to it, I may have called it quits. My husband told me to keep listening, it would get better. Thankfully by mid-book, it did. However, what I did notice was the same as with the second in this trilogy -- if Salander wasn't in the scene, I wasn't as interested. Overall, I am happy with the conclusion and glad I stuck it out.
Good for your husband for encouraging you to keep going.
ReplyDeleteI just loved the second book, which I read to start the reading year off. I plan to read this sometime this year. Can't wait!
Raidergirl3 ~ My husband ended up liking it more than I did, but it was still a very good ending to the trilogy. My friend was the one that said I needed to get to it sooner rather than later. She couldn't put it down. I hope that happens for you. :)
DeleteI loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie, so I really want to start this series.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ I did, too. If I remember correctly, we saw the second one as well and enjoyed it.
DeleteHoping to read this final book of the series this month or next for sure. Loved the Lisbeth character.
ReplyDeleteDiane ~ She was a very distinct and unique character. One I don't think any of us that have read this trilogy (or maybe watched the movies) will easily forget. I hope you enjoy #3!
DeleteYesterday I had breakfast with mom, sister, and cousin and they all RAVED about this series. Having only read (and listened) to the first I didn't have much to offer. What we determined, though, was that they all had a major girl crush on Salandar. Ha! One day I'll move on to the next books--just not in any hurry. ;)
ReplyDeleteTrish ~ I, personally, wouldn't go that far, but she's definitely captivating in an odd way.
DeleteMy son will be listening to this one on audio because that's all the library on base has. I will be trying to read all 3 of these this year! Glad that your husband told you to just keep on!!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ In general, they are too long for me to read, so I probably wouldn't haven't attempted them if they weren't on audio. So once again, HOORAY for audiobooks! :)
DeleteLizbet is the only reason I'd go back to the trilogy if I do. I listened to the first one at my sister's urging, but haven't been overly intrigued to read or listen to the rest. I get stubborn at times with books.
ReplyDeleteVickie ~ She IS the trilogy! And, I fully understand stubbornness. :)

ReplyDeleteDitto
I especially enjoyed the courtroom drama.
Les ~ Oh yes! Me, too!!!
