The Girl Who Played With Fire

the hair-raising sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. Two Millennium journalists about to expose the truth about sex trafficking in Sweden are murdered, and Salander's prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behaviour makes her an official danger to society - but no-one can find her.

Mikael Blomkvist, Millennium magazine's legendary star reporter, does not believe the police. Using all his magazine staff and resources to prove Salander's innocence, Blomkvist also uncovers her terrible past, spent in criminally corrupt institutions. Yet Salander is more avenging angel than helpless victim. She may be an expert at staying out of sight - but she has ways of tracking down her most elusive enemies.

Fired-up

The second in the Millenium series, by late Stieg Larsson. This book maintains the momentum of the first one (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). A story with pace, action and surprises, it is well worth a listen. At time it stretches credulity somewhat, but then, what good thriller does not? Somewhat surprising, different narrators are used for the two books. Both are good, but this does break the continuity unnecessarily.

cliffhanger!

Would you listen to The Girl Who Played With Fire again? Why?

yes- if they have an unabridged version... maybe I would like to hear more details of this story. Mr. Larsson was a gifted writer

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

as with all his books.. its just develops so well that it keeps you glued

What about Martin Wenner’s performance did you like?

He has a great voice that blends well to the story.

LISBETH SALANDER IS A GREAT MAIN CHARACTER

THE MOST APPEALING THING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THE MAIN CHARACTER LISBETH SALANDER AND WHILST I HAVE FORGOTTEN MANY OF THE INTRICACIES OF THE STORYLINE AND THE NAMES WERE HARD TO GET USED TO, THE STRENGTH, SMARTS AND HARDNESS OF LISBETH SALANDER WILL BE LONG REMEMBERED

Excellent Crime Drama

Intriguing, captivating with a super voice performance. The second entry in the series threw so many twists and turns at the reader, keeping your engaged, vociferously waiting for the next big reveal. Excellency in crime drama personified, with an excellent cast of characters, settings and tones that keeps the reader locked in to the story.

Great book, great reader, great time.

I started to read Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tatto's girl trilogy a few months ago. I bought the books and everything, but due the lack of time I stopped reading; I found a free time on my way to the gym and on the treadmill, so I thought, "Why not listen to it?".

After I bought the audio book, and had my first treadmill session with Martin Wenner I knew I had made the right choice. The overall experience is amazing, specially if you like Larsson's style and you already fell in love with the characters from the first book.

One thing only. Since English is not my native language sometimes I lose track of the story, even though I don't when reading the book. When I read the book later, I find that some really small details are skipped from the actual paper book. I don't think this matters (as the story makes sense) but for instance, you will be missing a really intense introduction described in the paper book, which helps to create the mood even before you get to read the first chapter.
