Finally finished another book. This time it's the last book in the Millennium series The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larrson. The book was alright, but I have to say that because of how detailed it was, it was hard to keep track of everything, so unfortunately I don't really remember all the details. What really annoyed me was that nearing the end of the book, it seemed really out to lunch with the court proceedings. The defence was able to bring in random witnesses that the prosecution knew nothing about. I know in North American judicial systems that's not allowed. The case would have to be completely restarted, so either Swedish judicial systems are different, or Mr. Larsson was out to lunch. What prosecutor goes only by what the police tell them? I thought they would do their own research and figure things out. Anyway, those are really my only 2 gripes with the book. I mean obviously the fact that Lisbeth and her brother are basically superhuman seem a little out to lunch, but it's a fictional book....I shouldn't complain too much.
Basically, this book picks up where the last one left off. Lisbeth and her father are in the hospital. It follows Lisbeth as she's kept in isolation and guarded in the hospital, and then put into prison. And then follows the court proceedings and research that went into that. It ends by tying up all loose ends for characters.
Not my favourite book, but I'm glad I'm finally finished the series and can move onwards to something that might be a little easier on my brain. Anyway, until then, Happy Reading!
