The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

A Lisbeth Salander Novel

De: Stieg Larsson, Reg Keeland - translator

Narrado por: Simon Vance

Audie Awards Winner, 2010

The stunning third and final novel in Stieg Larsson’s internationally best-selling trilogy.

Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge—against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.

Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Larsson’s vivid characters, the depth of detail across three books, the powerfully imaginative plot, and the sheer verve of the writing make the trilogy a masterpiece of the genre.” (The Economist)

“The literary equivalent of a caffeine rush. . . . Larsson was one of those rare writers who could keep you up until 3 a.m. and then make you want to rush home the next night to do it again.” (Newsweek)

“Salander is someone you will never forget. . . . Anyone who enjoys grounding their imaginations in hundreds . . . of exciting pages about the way we live now ought to take advantage of this trilogy.” (Chicago Tribune)

Great Ending

I enjoyed this book series every step of the way. Simon Vance is the best narrator I've listened to, which is a good thing, since it's a long series. I was afraid that with so many characters, some would be left hanging, but Steig Larson wrapped up the last book beautifully!

You have to finish what you started.

It's simple. If you liked Book 1 and 2, there is no decision. A review is unnecessary. To not read Book 3 is to live with an unscratched itch. Do it.

An amazing saga

I love this book, the author and the narrator. That goes for all three of them. I agree with all the raves and positives posted here. It is unique in style, characters and plot.

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest

I could not turn it off. Loved it. The plot was interesting and the narrator was perfect.

great series

I'm so glad I found the other books in the series. I read the first three and thought that was the end of it and then I saw this one, now I can't wait to hear the next one.

A great end to a great trilogy.

There are few series out there that end well- this is one of the few. Harshly beautifully written and concisely translated, the text is truly brought to life by Vance's superior narration.

The Mesmerizing Voice of Simon Vance

Not only is Simon one of my top favorite readers, but my cat loves his voice, too. She comes running to my chair (or pillow) whenever I turn on my Kindle and she hears Simon. One evening I put on ear buds, but Shamu could still hear him! She sniffed the ear bud and then laid her head down on my ear so she could listen too.

Shamu's review is more telling than my own could ever be.

Need to read/listen to the trilogy in sequence

I can't imagine reading/listening to these books out of sequence--minute details that allude to prior events in a previous book take place through out the series and would be lost to a reader not reading the books in order. If you read the last book first, I believe a lot of the relationships would have less meaning. I loved the series and am sad that it is over--unlike other reviewers, I felt that the end of the 3rd book was an opening to the next adventure/mystery that these two friends would experience together.

Great sieres, smart storylines!

Great trilogy, interesting writing, crazy stuff, Chase senes, what's not to like. Really strong heroine, loved it.

Fantastic

After the first 2 books, I couldn't put this one down till I had finished it, everything I did, I did with earphones on.
The detail of these books is amazing right down to the cheese, coffee and bread bought at the corner shop, and certainly makes you feel like you are in the storjy, with the writer. I enjoyed the reader and his different accents, very entertaining.
If you haven't read the first 2 books then you should.
