Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

This is the second in the 'Girl with the dragon tattoo' series. Continues the story of Lisbeth Salander, the reclusive computer hacker, explaining more of her background and childhood which factors into her unique view of society and people in general. Larsson weaves a good tale, with plenty of twists and plot turns, some a bit unbelievable. This title also continues the heavy dose of violence and sexual focus of the first title. The story ends with the heroine seriously injured - a lead-in for the final book. The translation is smoothly done; I found the Swedish setting part of the intrigue of the book. 724 p. (pap).
