Thoroughly enjoyed it as I did the second. This one was a lot more Mikael and less Lisbeth which was okay I guess. But Lisbeth really seemed to grow and blossom as she started to open up a bit to a select few people and as she was able to move from all the atrocities that were inflicted upon her. I am glad Mikael and Lisbeth looked like they were becoming friends by the end. Further, I imagine if the author had lived, the fourth book would have introduced Lisbeth's mysterious, estranged twin sister, Camilla. You know there is a good story there. Hopefully those rumors about Stieg Larsson's widow having a fourth book are true. Either way, I still have a bit of the Millenium story line to pursue. I have seen the first and second movies but not the third....the swedish movies that is. They were very good. I don't think I care to watch the upcoming Hollywood versions. And, I have yet to read the first book so I have that to look forward to as well.
