Bitter Sweet


I'll start off my saying, I loved these books!! I finished the 3rd book in Millennium trilogy today, and it was a bitter sweet feeling. I really wanted to know how it was all going to end, yet I didn't want it to be over, because there won't be any more books by Stieg Larsson.

This last book, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, just came out in the US in 2010. Why? Because they were being translated from Swedish to English. Larsson's original plan was to write 10 book in the Millennium series, but died unexpectedly in 2004. I've heard that he had written a majority of the 4th book. Well, the beginning and the ending. So their may eventually be a 4th book (his long term girl friend might finish it). And then someone else might pick up the last 5 (I believe the author had outlined how the rest of the book were to go). So there may or may not be more books added to the series, but it won't be the same.

These book are some pretty heavy reading, so I wouldn't recommend them to everyone, but I enjoyed them immensely!!
