The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not yet available in the US and will not be available until late May. I ordered from Amazon UK (don't be a sucker and pay over $40 in the "aftermarket"--order directly from Amazon UK if you cannot wait. The book should arrive within a week--mine came in three business days--and will cost less than $28 shipped).
The main criticism of the second entry in the Millenium Trilogy, The Girl Who Played with Fire, was that the novel "just ended." Fire was my favorite of the three, however, because I continue to find Lizbeth Salander to be, far and away, the most compelling character in the trilogy, and simply put, Fire had the most Lizbeth in it.
The action in The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest picks up RIGHT WHERE Fire left off. Those of you who are concerned that Hornet's Nest may "not end" since author Stieg Larsson died in the midst of writing a fourth novel need not worry--Hornet's Nest ties up all of the loose ends from Fire.
I did enjoy reading all three novels, but I didn't love this trilogy as much as others. Hornet's Nest is definitely a worthy conclusion to the series and therefore earns a solid B. For those who read Dragon Tattoo and Fire, I strongly suggest that you read the concluding entry.
Live long, read and prosper.
