A fitting end to the Millennium trilogy and my favorite book in the series, without giving anything away, Hornet's Nest picks up exactly where The Girl Who Played With Fire left off. This can be a bit confusing since in the US we've had to a wait almost a full year for the final installment and it's tough to remember the events of the second book in detail. Once this book gets moving though, it's pretty tough to put it down. My main problem with all three books has been that there just isn't enough Salander time, but I've come to appreciate the fact that her character appears just enough to keep her interesting without detracting from the overall stories being told. Too much Salander would be a bad thing. I'd give this book 5 stars, but I'm finding it hard to figure Stieg Larsson out. He's obviously someone who is against violence towards women, but on the other hand, he has no problem exploiting his female characters by putting them through horrible scenes of torture, rape, etc. to write his stories. I'm guessing we'll never get to read what there is of book 4 (or is it book 5 as some have speculated?) that happens to be sitting on a computer in Sweden, held in legal turmoil, but again, I think Hornet's Nest (or Hornets' Nest if you're British apparently) serves as a great send off two amazing characters that will be sorely missed. I'm now eagerly awaiting the translation of the third Johan Theorin novel. What exactly are they putting in the water in Sweden that makes their crime fiction so darn good?

Indispensable for a thorough reading of Ulysses. This is a reference book, with entries arranged in order of their occurrence in the text. Originally compiled to help students in Gifford's own classes on Ulysses, it sets out to answer just about anything you might want to "look up" while reading Ulysses--which is a lot, and this is a big book. For example: you're reading the Lestrygonians episode, and you come across a mention of "lemon platt". What's that? Look it up in the Lestrygonians chapter of Ulysses Annotated, and you find: "Candy made of plaited sticks of lemon-flavored barley sugar." In the next line or so of Joyce's text you come across the mention of "a christian brother". What's that? It's right here: a paragraph on "a teaching brotherhood of Roman Catholic laymen, bound under temporary vows." In a similar way, Gifford goes into references to the Bible, to Irish history, to Greek mythology, to references to Blake, Yeats, Wagner, and many others, to identifying the specific Dublin individuals and businesses named in the text, as well as giving full verses of the many poems and songs alluded to by Joyce, and much else besides these things. This book is the result of someone's having done all the "looking up" that can be done with Ulysses, so you don't have to. It does not attempt to go into the meaning and symbolism of Ulysses very much; for that you need other works. But if you want to read Ulysses with anything more than a slight comprehension, you need this book--unless you already have an encyclopedic knowledge of 1904 Dublin and Ireland; Irish history, culture, and folklore; 19th-century poetry, fiction, opera, and popular music; the Bible; Homer's Odyssey; the life and works of Shakespeare; the works of Dante, Vico, Milton, Blake, Wilde, Swift, et al; the Catholic mass; Christian theology; Hinduism; and 17th-century English underworld cant. But if you don't have such knowledge, this book is for you.
