Product Description
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

Absolutely amazing I could not put it down, I would try to sleep and all I could do was think about the book and go read a considerable chunk of it before my body fell asleep against my will. Riveting, thrilling, deep, and it shows how deep corruption can go in he government and it unveils Salander's past and I must say that it is my favorite book I've read in at least a year.
Fantastic! July 28, 2010

I couldn't put this book down. Too bad Stieg Larsson isn't around any longer. I've never read such a complex character in Lisbeth Salander. Her strangeness and complexity is the root of the book and character development makes a book wonderful rather than just the story. I loved it!
 I'M HOOKED July 28, 2010

Mr. Larsson's first book, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, sucked me in and now I must read the next two in the series. I was a bit less engrossed with The Girl Who Played With Fire, and I'm not certain why. If the scene didn't involve Lisbeth, I found myself anxious to move on through the less interesting parts (a lot of detail) to get back to her. Also, I feel that Lisbeth would never, ever consider getting breast augmentation. Such a procedure could be construed that she was lacking in some way because she had small breasts. Uh? Sorry to you five-star fans, but I believe the author's own anatomical preferences and sexual fantasies may have sent an unwilling Salander to the plastic surgeon. I think little Lisbeth with a big attitude would have said, "If they don't like me the bleeping way I am, then bleep them!" Aside from these small details, I still liked the book and would recommend it.
