The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest - by Stieg Larsson

A great read. Like the previous two volumes, it is a big book, but I felt undaunted and kept turning the pages. Towards the end, I had that kind of double-think, where I wanted to know what the conclusion would be, but simultaneously didn't want the [pleasure of reading the] book to end.

I was glad that the book did have a tidy enough ending, even though it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through the Epilogue. At the same time, I think the author left the door open for further books based on the main characters. Sadly, there will be no more unless someone else takes up the challenge. His style was quite individual and I would have doubts about another author emulating it.
