Review of 'The Girl Who Played with Fire' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I love Lisbeth Salander. She's my favorite female character EVER. She's so strong and determinated you can't not love her. She's unique. She always exasperates me in the best way of the word. The rare times she smiles are like dust gold and those moments I can't help a smile slide through my lips too.
Blomkvist conviction of Lisbeth's innocence is truly touching. I love how he will always think the best of her no matter what. And I love the fact that in this book he has to save her, the opposite to the first book.

I can't wait to read the third, I just can't.
This book is perfection and it's one of the best books I've read in my life.
It's a shame Stieg couldn't have seen the success of his great books.
