The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

Review Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2010

As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned. --Dave Callanan
From Publishers Weekly
The exhilarating conclusion to bestseller Larsson's Millennium trilogy (after The Girl Who Played with Fire) finds Lisbeth Salander, the brilliant computer hacker who was shot in the head in the final pages of Fire, alive, though still the prime suspect in three murders in Stockholm. While she convalesces under armed guard, journalist Mikael Blomkvist works to unravel the decades-old coverup surrounding the man who shot Salander: her father, Alexander Zalachenko, a Soviet intelligence defector and longtime secret asset to Säpo, Sweden's security police. Estranged throughout Fire, Blomkvist and Salander communicate primarily online, but their lack of physical interaction in no way diminishes the intensity of their unconventional relationship. Though Larsson (1954–2004) tends toward narrative excess, his was an undeniably powerful voice in crime fiction that will be sorely missed. 500,000 first printing. (May)

Definitely Worthy Of Your Investment; Tons Of Good Info, June 29, 2009

This review is from: Google AdSense Secrets: 4th Edition (Kindle Edition)

I got started by watching Joel's videos on YouTube and he's the primary reason I've decided to try my hand at internet marketing.

This book is full of great info in a concise, easy-to-read format.Unfortunately, Google closed by AdSense account soon after reaching the

$100 mark (which occurred within only two weeks thanks to Joel's advice), and I'm trying to have it appealed as we speak. I've since

implemented a couple other advertisers.Despite that, it's a great resource for someone just getting started in

internet marketing and is looking to increase their revenue via advertisement. Is this information available all over the web? Sure.

Joel even spoils the book in his videos and in various blog entries.Whether that prevents you from buying the book or not is totally up to you, I still think it's worth having. Joel comes across as a very friendly person who is genuinely interested

in helping people, which is the main reason I decided to pick it up.I've heard people accuse him of self-promotion in other books and this is no different, but I've come to expect it and truthfully it doesn't really bother me at all.Worth the read. I just wish he had gone into more detail about search engine optimization.
