I was excited to read the middle book of the Millennium trilogy. I had come to admire Lisbeth Salander and wanted to see what would happen next, and especially to discover what "All the Evil" was!
The beginning, so much different than The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, was so promising, if not a bit disturbing. However, I am beginning to sense Larsson's writing pattern: present a bunch of interesting plot elements and then dump in hundreds of red herrings to confuse the reader! While part of me enjoys the twisting and turning plots, my analytical side gets frustrated because I cannot solve the mystery on my own.
I was disappointed that Salander and Blomkvist's relationship has fizzled out. I truly enjoyed their interactions. Again, I was astonished by the lengths that Lisbeth goes within her investigations. She is one smart cookie!
Of course, I will be reading the final book in the trilogy... I'm a sucker for tying up loose ends. Not only that, but once again, the ending is a cliff hanger!
