Comments on: “The Girl Who Played with Fire” by Stieg Larsson http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2966 Reading, Writing, Movies and Mothering in Minneapolis, Mostly Mon, 11 May 2026 19:59:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Jennifer http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2966&cpage=1#comment-17530 Jennifer Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:55:46 +0000 http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2966#comment-17530 Thanks for this -- now I will go beg or borrow a copy of "Fire". And since that NYTimes article, I've seen copies of the third installment at independent bookstores in California -- for $25 dollars or so, not $40. I've been wondering if they pushed up the publication date but did not look at where it was published -- clearly my inner detective skills are not as honed....!

I found it a brilliant albeit almost fantascientific book, and the ending is satisfactory to a point, but the thing is, Larsson died just before the third novel came out, and the series was supposed to have ten books! So there are a lot of loose ends that will likely never be tied - is it worth replacing a cliffhanger with loose ends? Apparently there is a completed fourth book on his computer (a Mac, I guess!), which his partner is not releasing because of inheritance disputes with Larsson's estranged father and brother, plus sketches for the whole series. Ok, I am maybe a little obsessed... Maybe you can wait till May.
