The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest by Stieg Larsson ***

The least riveting of the trilogy for me ... Lisbeth, the main character, typically wily and sneaky, was left immobile in the hospital for almost the entire book. However, since it was originally designed to be one of a much longer series, I was satisfied with the many loose ends that were wrapped up. If it does end up being the last of his books that gets published (and there's apparently some debate over that), it's a good end of the series. I think the first one is still my favorite.
