AUDIOBOOK read by Simon Vance

I went into this book with low expectations as I had been told by more than one person that the last book in this trilogy was not as good as the others.  I was therefore pleasantly surprised when I was once again engrossed in Larsson’s world.  The third book has less suspense and action, but more storytelling and clearing up of questions remaining from the first two books in the series.  With the elements of the secret police and government conspiracies, this book seemed more like a spy novel than a mystery novel like the others.  There are relatively few cliffhangers and the story doesn’t leave you guessing, but I was ok with that as I thought the story carried itself without the need for additional suspense.  As for the audiobook, Simon Vance does a masterful job (and is equally as good on The Girl Who Played with Fire) of doing the voicework for a multitude of characters.  I highly recommend the closing chapter to the series if you’ve read the others.
