    I'm watching the second movie in the Millennium Trilogy, "The Girl Who Played With Fire," and realizing that the extent to which I disliked the first of the newer novels, not by Larsson, has kind of soured me on the whole family intrigue plot with Zala. And that's super unfair of me!

    #26, Book #6 The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson Tore through it. Lisbeth Salander is an excellent chaotic neutral protag. Human trafficking is the central focus & it hits different than the 1st in the series. Brutal. I found the inclusion of a real life boxer odd. Otherwise, excellent.
