Finished "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larsson. It seemed as though the author was gearing up for a fourth book, but then decided to put all the content into the third since there were so many things repeated in this one. I'm not necessarily talking about the switch from one character's perspective to another's. I'm talking more about the explanations of things that are well established.
As to the story itself, my suspension of disbelief was challenged here and there, but the events were well done. There were some quite shocking moments, and (without giving too much away) the style of the story was different than the previous two books. There were a couple characters who behaved in a way I did not expect, to their detriment. I either expected more from them or expected there would be hints more in line with their ultimate decisions and actions.
And a lot was packed into the epilogue. It seemed like the author had a scene in mind and couldn't let it go.
