Final Volume From Stieg Larsson: The Story That Could Have Continued

It didnt take Stieg Larsson very long to become famous as a writer and already he is a worldwide sensation by now

. There was a time when he was a well known name only within Sweden at the time when the first part of his Millennium Trilogy appeared. The global sales of his books were only second to Khaled Hosseinis books. The security for his latest title The Girl Who Kicked Nornets Nest was matching to that of Harry Potter books. The interest was also because of the fact that there was a cliff hanger ending with the second volume and readers were eager to know what happened next to the characters.

Lisbeth Salander Does Survive

The large amount of interest can also be attributed to the fact that The Girl Who Kicked Nornets Nest is the final volume in the Millennium trilogy, since Stieg Larsson died of a heart attack just after completing this book. Some readers also believe the rumours there are some unfinished work in Larssons laptop and that more is yet to come. As expected, Lisbeth Salander does survive, but the dark forces are still trying to get her locked up in a cruel institution yet again after declaring her mentally incompetent and they also want her charged for two murders and an attempted murder on her own father.

Blomkvist Is Still On Her Side

The only person who is still on her side is Mikael Blomkvist, the editor of Millennium and a doctor who doesnt believe the stories planted by Salanders detractors. The two protagonists collaborated in exposing an industrialist who hated women, but they were separated throughout the second volume of the book. There is a police guard in Salanders room and Mikael Blomkvist has a challenge how to communicate with her (Lisbeth Salander) in his presence. He comes up with a pretty ingenious solution, though.

New Characters at Bewildering Speed

The final book also solves the mysteries that came up in the first two volumes of the series. In the initial pages, new characters are explained with some really bewildering speed which means you will have to tighten your seat belts while reading these portions. Once the conspiracy against the Lisbeth Salander is explained, the book does take off.

The Author Puts His Knowledge to Good Use

Stieg Larsson edited the magazine Expo, and his mission was to expose the anti democratic right wing forces in Sweden. Due to this background, he was able to expertly create the background of the story, especially the Fictional magazine called Millennium. He also knew a lot about the secret police of Sweden, SAPO, and he used his knowledge to strengthen his story line in all the three volumes of the series. About 50 pages prior to the end of the book, the author says the story is not mostly about spies only, it is more about violence against women and men who help this violence. Stieg Larsson does not take the help of graphical sex scenes to create interest in an otherwise dull chapter, he just makes sure he is writing a book for grown up readers, who want much more than just a car chase.
