Review of 'La regina dei castelli di carta' on 'Goodreads'

Uomini che se la sentono un po' troppo.
Compresi Blomkvist e Larsson.

In generale è una storia con tratti marcati, uomini che usano il proprio potere per stare al sicuro usando donne, dall'altra donne maltrattate e chi riesce a fare valere le proprie intenzioni, per ultimi uomini amici. Tre enormi, eccessivi, capitoli nel quale si svolge la storia da giornalista d'inchiesta di Mikael, abile nel suo lavoro e sciupafemmine ma con visione aperta sia dei propri affetti che delle donne con cui divide lavoro e notti. La corruzione e i segreti di stato al centro dei dilemmi. Un ex agente sovietico che verrà messo alle strette per poi finalmente sparire e così poter liberare Lisbeth Salander, un'abile hacker con dubbia morale ma forza da vendere. Erika Berger, Annika Giannini e Sonja Modig le donne che risaltano nella narrazione.

Contro: la scrittura, personalmente, la vedo non eccezionale. Va benissimo per risultare …

Review of "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" on 'Goodreads'

At last everything is put in order. The bad guys pay and the good guys win. I couldn't expect less.

Lisbeth is like always so cold and so genius but this time you get to see how she does want company. She wants someone, a friend, anyone, even though she likes being alone too. And Mikael is unbearable to her sometimes, even though she likes him in a weird way.

I don't know, I liked it and it's a good way to end everything. The ending is perfect, that last part, that last line.

Stieg was really a great writer. Awesome character Lisbeth. I'll miss her.

Review of "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Millennium, #3)" on 'Goodreads'

3.5 for this book from me. Does not really measure up to the other two, especially not the first one. I have seen someone say that this book felt unedited and rambling, not anywhere as tight and gripping as the other two. If you have read the other books of the trilogy, you want to complete it, but be prepared for some really BORING moments where the author just goes on about finer points about the Swedish constitution than any reader could possibly care about.
