The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
3.0
Would recommend: Maybe
I liked this book, but not as much as I liked The [b:Girl With the Dragon Tattoo|2429135|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)|Stieg Larsson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275608878s/2429135.jpg|1708725]. This sequel was much more convoluted in plot, and there were so many characters to keep straight. Maybe I wouldn't have had such a hard time if the Swedish names didn't sound so similar to me, but I ended up bunching people together, like: "This guy is part of the police team," and "This guy is a bad guy." I think this book has much more profanity than the first (if that matters to anyone), and I thought the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying.
That said, it was a page-turner, and I definitely want to read the third installment in the series. I hope this simply a typical case of second-book slump.
