The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson


There has to be something a little wrong with this author to imagine a story like this. There is a lot of sex and murder that's for sure. But, as crazy as this book is, it's not too bad. This book was a lot better than the first and was an intrigueing story. I can't say that these are the most amazing books I've ever read like a lot of people are saying, but they are interesting. Lisbeth Salander definately makes a lot more sense why she is as she is and by the end of the book you really feel sorry for her life pretty much being ruined by her father and the events that happened later. She still is pretty messed up, but at least you can sympathize with her feelings and distrust for everyone. Mikael Blomvist doesn't play a huge, major role and I honestly didn't really care for him this time. He seemed like a really decent guy the first book, but this time he seems so unable to really love and have a relationship. That's a little disappointing for him just because he messes with so many woman's emotions without realizing it. And then I really don't like Berger. She's very selfish and needs to control her sexual/personal emotions and desires. Who can't control themselves. It is amazing how many crazy sexual fantasies and needs all these characters need. These books are really centered around sex and rape that it is disturbing at times. I know there are people out there like these individuals, but I can say that I don't really care to read about it.
