Rating: :) :) :) :) :)
This sequel is the next best thing! And I'm not kidding! I'm even more excited should Hollywood wish to pursue the rest of the Millennium Trilogy on film. I'm not biased, I am just overwhelmed by Larsson's work. It is indeed something not to be missed in your lifetime! Okay, okay...on with the synopsis! :D
The story continues with Lisbeth Salander splurging away what she had somewhat "acquired," from the ending of the previous book. But problem arises again as her new guardian, Neil Bjurman, wanted revenge for the humiliation and trauma that she had done to him previously. As he tried to devise diabolical plans to get back at Salander - and maybe even considering the fact that killing her would instantly solve his problems - Bjurman eventually hired someone to do the dirty job. Turns out, he uncovered way too much information from Salander's past that eventually led to his fate.
Like Bjurman, Salander was also on her heels on finding the whereabouts of her past, especially her father. But having been tangled up in this new web of deception, deep dark secrets and government espionage, Salander found herself the victim of a deadly accusation claiming that she had murdered two of Blomkvist's colleagues in the news field.
Meanwhile, our other protagonist (Blomkvist) does not believe the stories and accusations that's all over the news. He had been Salander's friend, and knew that although Salander is one ass-kicking girl, she is not that type to kill an innocent person, let alone a couple of journalists who were on the path of seeking the truth. Albeit, it may seem coincidental that these two journalists were on the verge of discovering a dark secret that has something to do with Salander's past, all the fuss about the hunt for her life still did not convince Blomkvist that she was the killer.
Get ready to uncover a new pandemonium that our protagonists have gotten themselves involved in, and have your mind ready to be blown away by Larsson's fantastic depiction of his second masterpiece: The Girl Who Played With Fire.
