Week 9: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

Picking up exactly where the second book left off makes this the BEST read so far.  I LOVED the entire trilogy and it is a damn shame that Larsson has passed on.  I will say that this book makes me want to research and see if he wrote anything else before his demise. 

The book cleans up ALL loose ends and goes out with one hell of a trial thanks to Blomkvists sister, the lawyer.  I would say that this book is a 5 out of 5, but only if you read the first two of the series!!

Week 8: Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler

Chelsea Handler is friggin hysterical.  I had never seen or heard of her before (as I do not have cable) but I found her books rising on the best sellers lists and thought, hey, let's give it a shot.  Oh am I glad I did.  I can not wait to read her other two books, one of which is sitting on my shelf waiting for me to finish the two books I have going now!  If you don't offend terribly easily and want a GREAT laugh, get Chelsea's book and give it a go.  It's chapter of short little essays about her life.  Not a straight through read.  It seems so improbable that things would have ever happened to an actual person, but if they did, her life must be nonstop chaos. I give this book a 4.7 out of 5! 

Week #7: Between the Bridge and the River by Craig Ferguson

Yes, this book is by the same Craig Ferguson whose autobiography I reported on earlier.  This book is actually a novel and it is amazing how Craig managed to tell 4 different stories that eventually all came together.  It really is a great way of describing that age old cliche "It's a Small World."  This book was a 4 out of 5 and I think I may have to reread it just to pick up on a few things I may have missed.

Week 6: The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, it has occurred to me that I am WAY behind with blogging about my reading journey.  And simply, it's because I have no time.  So, I am going to, at the very least, start putting the books I read and a word or two describing my feeling about the them.  

That being said, this book was awesome.  It was the perfect sequel, much in the same way that the  Godfather II was better than the original.  It took me all of 3 days to finish this book, and even then it was because I had to do things such as feed and water my children..lol.  This book is a 5 out of 5!
