The Girl Who Played with Fire
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Like the first one, this one started off just a tad slowly, and I did wonder where he was going with it. It picked up considerable speed, though, and I absolutely devoured it.
One thing I found myself thinking, though, is about the hacker mentality in Sweden. Or perhaps I should say the mentality that people who are not hackers think that hackers have. Also, I found myself a little confused about why a photographic memory might be something to be embarrassed or ashamed about. But then I don’t see things like someone’s talents and abilities as something to hide… maybe that’s just me.
If you haven’t read the first book, you won’t be too lost. Sure, there are relationships the characters had prior to the second book starting, but nothing that isn’t filled in throughout the course of the book.
