The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest Paperback – October 25, 2016

book came right away and in extra wrapped mint condition. Excellent rendition. Read all the books and saw all the movies. Graphic novels maintain the quality of both. I highly recommend!

theres only so much they can do when they when a story turns into a graphic novel, but it was totally fun. I really enjoyed it

Great series of books, faithful to the novel.thoroughly enjoyed the read.Well beyond most graphic novels.

I love graphic adult type art. Especially created for well written novels like these. Hope to see more to come

Great item, great condition

I was curious about this graphic novel since I loved the book trilogy. This is third and last graphic novel, but I have read the book so I didn't have any problem reading The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.What I did have problem with was the art, it was really terrible. It's like who cares about the art, the story is good in itself. I would never ever buy this graphic novel despite how much I love the book. Not even the cover is any good.Also let's not forget that this is based on a 700 pages long book and it's been a while since I read the book, but I bet that quite a lot of the books story had to be left out or simplified. Which is really bad, because the book is good.I gave it 3 stars because the story in itself is good even in this scaled down version. Would have given it an extra star if the art had been better.So read the trilogy before reading the graphic novels!I received this copy from the publisher through Edelweiss in return for an honest review! Thank you!

Before I even talk about the actual book, let's take a moment to look at that cover. I know that's not how I'm supposed to judge a book but I mean look at it! It's gorgeous. I want a print of it for my wall. It's so eye-catching and is a good representative of the story.I'm a big fan of The Millennium Trilogy. Lisbeth Salander is one of my absolute favorite book characters. So, when I saw the graphic novel versions of this hit series, I knew I had to have them. I've reviewed a few in the past and really enjoyed them, and I'm happy to say that The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is a great addition to the rest of the series.The illustrations are gorgeous. There's a really nice variety of bright colors and dark dreary panels, dependent on what the text is saying alongside it. They're gritty and super detailed. It honestly took me a while to get through this one. It wasn't complex or confusing to read, but I took forever to look at all the effort put into each drawing. I loved them.As I've mentioned in previous discussions about this book, I recommend this as a supplement to the novels, and not a replacement. If you've read the novels, you know the full story, so the comic text is easier to follow because you can fill in the blanks. If you haven't read the books, you can definitely still understand this book, but you're getting an (understandably) more watered down version of a great story. The text does a pretty good job of giving you the novel in a nutshell. It's well paced and easily understood.This particular book is an adaptation of the third and final book in this trilogy, so I'd recommend reading its predecessors, whether it is the full novels or the graphic novels. I think fans of the series will eat it up, and fans of good artwork will too.I received a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Since this awful novel (nawful?) was published after Stieg Larsson's death I can only assume that it was a work in progress as I have long maintained the opinion that it's a rambling, incoherent mess with far too many tangents and completely unable to focus on a single intelligible plot.The main problem with TGWKTHN is that it's simply not a theatrical story. Neither the book, the TV movie, nor indeed the graphic novel have been able to tackle this lumbering bore and bring it to life. The whole thing is people sitting in offices and reading documents, then they go meet with someone else in an other office and talk about more documents. Nothing visual happens in this at all. On top of this the artwork is frequently extremely confusing. Virtually ALL of the male characters have chin beards and identifiable characters (in the rare instances where you can actually tell who you are looking at) seem to transform between panels.The original story is the only one worth investing your time in. It is self-contained and easy to follow. Everything that follows after it is a jumble of confusion and boredom. It's probably why the David Fincher movie will remain as a stand-alone.

Great quality and good delivery - thank you

And this series is finally over.As far as adaptations go, this one is really good. I mean, most of the events of the book are represented here and the plot is almost comprehensible. But... yeah, also the original novel was so intricate with all its cover-ups and everything. Denise Mina did a bang-up job on this.Unfortunately, Mutti's and Fuso's art didn't.I didn't like the art. As usual, it's very dark and I have the feeling that it changes throughout the graphic novel. At some point, one would turn the page and different lines and drawings would appear. I found that a bit confusing. In addition, I had more troubles than usual telling one character from the other. And there are tons of characters here to deal with.I enjoyed reading the graphic novel adaptations but I was glad I read the novels first.By the way, what a horrible cover!!!

Good condition thanks

unlike the novel written by Stieg Larsson,and the movie made out of it as well; this is a boring piece of work. such a shame
