Five stars of mine is reserved for few authors, to whom I am openly biased; but I would be more than happy to give this book a blazing Five.
It's enthralling, amazing, stunning, exceptional......
I started this book in a great hurry and anticipation, to devour the revealing secrets that was left unanswered in book II. And from the start till the very end, I was glued.

Cheating death after surviving a bullet in the head, Lisbeth Salander, charged for attempted murder struggles to prove her innocence. Stuck in the hospital room for months, Salander uses her extravagant yet secret computer hacking skills and accepts ever faithful Mikael Blomkvist help to dig in the unethically buried mysteries of the section within the Sapo. Mikael Blomkvist, a celebrated millennium journalist closely encounters death but still helps Salander by using her information's and his intuition to defy all glowering power play of the section to bring her to justice. Advocate Giannini, Blomkvist's sister and a well know face as a defence lawyer for violence against women, helps in the trail representing Salander and the story ends with a high note.
Advocate Giannini is fantastic in the court. Usually the story of lawyers bore me but I was hooked and was applauding after every word she spoke to defend. She was brilliant (who knew a courtroom drama could be so engrossing!). And though i will always wonder why Salander made that dragon tattoo, this book provides a peaceful closure to the trilogy.
The girl who kicked the hornets' nest is a mesmerizing fiction which makes the first two read tolerable.
You have to read it to believe it.
Happy reading!
PS: Suddenly the sandwich toppings, Billy's pan pizza and the fountain of coffee don't irate me anymore ;)
