Stunted within The Hornet's Nest

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest
by Stieg Larsson

Here I am quite literally stuck on the 300th page of this book. The first book of this series, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, is fantastic. Nothing, not even the 2+ hour commute I was committed to could deter me from plowing through those pages. Yes, that is correct, I had 4 or more hours each work day that I was comutting via a pair of Subway trains & multiple MTA Buses from Greenpoint to Manhasset, Long Island. Point being that the time flew by whilst I was reading the first book of the Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson.

This latest, and last, installment has had me crawling from page to page. I've heard this from a few other fellow readers as well, and I want to know what it is that has me so . . . uninterested? That doesn't even feel like the right explative for my bluh mood towards this novel. I love Lisbeth Salander, she is an amazing character with a depth and attitude unlike any female lead I've come across in literature, in the 24 years of experience I've mustered through thus far. 

There is such a lull right now that I have to simply walk away from this post even . . . and grudgingly attempt to get past a few more pages. More on this novel soon, I simply felt compelled to express this frustration. Thanks for giving me a read! Check in soon for more.
