Salander is plotting her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.

Having so eagerly awaited the third in the Millenium Trilogy I was somewhat disappointed. The book is over 600 pages and a lot of that was taken up with page after page of (in my opinion) unneccesary history and descriptions of the inner workings of the equivelant to our MI5 , plus the vast cast of charecters are hard to remember ( not made any easier due to the swedish names!!)
That said it really is unmissable if you have read the previous 2, it cleverly reaches it's climax and one can't help but be delighted that our Heroine finally comes out on top. Very sad it's the last one too.
Great finish to the trilogy, i would not say any of the history ect is hard going as the other reviewer does. just adds to the ever increasingly interesting plot! i'm gutted its the final book.
I am a big fan of Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy and completely enjoyed the first two books. The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest is the third book and although still a good read I felt it wasn't quite as good as Dragon Tattoo or Played With Fire.
The main problem with Hornets Nest is that Larsson spends a lot of time going into details which bog down the story. The series strongest character Lisbeth Salander is reduced to a supporting role which doesn't help either.
That said Hornets Nest is still an enjoyable read and a good solid ending to the series. I rate Larsson's Millenium books very highly, I think they are modern classics even if the 3rd part was slightly lacking.
