Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best of the Month, July 2009: The girl with the dragon tattoo is back. Stieg Larsson's seething heroine, Lisbeth Salander, once again finds herself paired with journalist Mikael Blomkvist on the trail of a sinister criminal enterprise. Only this time, Lisbeth must return to the darkness of her own past (more specifically, an event coldly known as "All the Evil") if she is to stay one step ahead--and alive. The Girl Who Played with Fire is a break-out-in-a-cold-sweat thriller that crackles with stunning twists and dismisses any talk of a sophomore slump. Fans of Larsson's prior work will find even more to love here, and readers who do not find their hearts racing within the first five pages may want to confirm they still have a pulse. Expect healthy doses of murder, betrayal, and deceit, as well as enough espresso drinks to fuel downtown Seattle for months. --Dave Callanan

Product Description
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.

But he has no idea just how explosive the story will be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander—the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of The Girl Who Played with Fire.

As Blomkvist, alone in his belief in Salander’s innocence, plunges into an investigation of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.


From the Hardcover edition.

4 out of 5 stars Salander is a modern day superhero!   September 4, 2010
Jill Shure
Once again the main character, Salandar, is a victim. But while she's a victim, she has an amazing ability to take charge of her life and pay back anyone who has offended her. In short, she's just a few notches below a superhero. Not only can she break into almost any computer system around, she's also a math wizard, and a talented chameleon who can become someone else when she's in danger. But her ability to do what is necessary to pay back someone who has hurt or offended her is something most people dream about but are never able to carry off. And Salander does it over and over again.

This book is another winner. The only thing missing, which the previous book had, are a few passionate affairs to breathe a little more excitement into the novel. I always like a romantic subplot.

2nd in Trilogy
4.5/5 stars

Source: My sister bought it after loving Dragon Tattoo

Summary: The exciting sequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Lisbeth has had no contact with Mikael after the successful conclusion of their first investigation together. She has been traveling while he has been working on a new explosive book and article for his magazine Millennium. Soon she is caught up in murder and he has to hunt her down.

Thoughts: Again abuse toward women is a prominent theme. This time there is more of Lisbeth's history and an expose of human traffickers in Sweden. It was terribly depressing to read how the system skipped over these vulnerable women and ignored them. In this case though Millennium is getting involved which ties Lisbeth and Blomkvist back together again.

In the book, they don't really meet although they communicate through Lisbeth's favorite way (computers!) However they are both trying to puzzle out the same thing. One of my favorite things about this book and the previous is how they both solve the mystery despite the fact that they are coming at it from completely different angles and with different knowledge and biases.

I would also classify this more as a mixture of thriller and mystery. Mystery because in thrillers the reader is supposed to know more than characters which was not always the case but definitely still thriller because it was absolutely page-turning. It did take me longer to read (4 days to Tattoo's 2) but that was because I had to work and because it's longer. I don't want to spoil much of the plot

I did not like the end, mostly because it ended with a cliffhanger! I would have liked it more if I had the third book with me and could have started it although who knows if it would have picked up right afterward.

I was just as bothered by the casual attitude toward sexual relationships in this book and possibly even more so because it felt like there was more in the beginning.

Mostly cheers to translator Reg Keeland who had a mammoth task in translating these tomes. One thing I didn't like was, in both books, the usage of variations of "You'll have to seduce me." That makes me think a. of The Graduate and b. what awkward phrasing. I don't think it works in American English although perhaps it's okay in Britain.

Overall: Another gripping thriller from Larsson that ends on a cliffhanger!

Cover: I think I like this cover more with the golden hair shimmering although I don't think Lisbeth's hair is supposed to be that color or length so it may be irrelevant.


5 out of 5 stars Even better than the first!   September 4, 2010
PT Cruiser (CA USA)
This is the second of the three part saga by the late Steig Larrson, about Lisbeth Salander, the young, socially challenged computer hacker and Mikael Blomkvist the investigative journalist and takes off where The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ended. I read the first book on my Kindle and immediately downloaded this one and started reading as if it were just the next chapter. I liked this book even better than the first because the Lisbeth Salander character was my favorite and this book gives us a closer look into her background although much is still in question by the end of the book. Nonetheless, we begin to see some of the reasons that she is so introverted and such a free spirit. We also see Blomkvist back in his office at Millennium after taking close to a year off to write a book and solve the mysteries in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

I don't want to give away any of the storyline, not that it would be easy to do so since this book, like the first is very involved with lots of twists and turns. There is lots of mystery, suspense, and thrills throughout the book. If you've read the first book you probably already like both of these characters as well as some of the supporting cast such as Erika, Blomkvist's boss and sometime lover and others in the Millennium office. You'll like them even more after reading this book as you learn more secrets about them and more of the reasons why they believe and act as they do.

I went on to download The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest on my Kindle immediately after finishing this one and I think I have to say that this second book was my favorite of the three. It's such a shame that the author suffered a heart attack and died in November of 2004. He was so talented and he undoubtedly would have written more wonderful books like these three.


4 out of 5 stars Loved the book   September 4, 2010
C. McAllister (Oregon)
I loved the book. Much of it is unexpected. The only disclaimer is that their is some sexual assault scenes described. Don't read if this may bother you.


5 out of 5 stars The saga continues...as if it's simply chapter 2   September 3, 2010
wspann
Great series. Highly recommended. If/when you see the movies...make sure you read the books first, b/c they don't develop Lisbeth's character fully in the films. The first two movies were very good.
