I first want to say it irks me that the title is grammatically incorrect on the US version (Hornet’s versus Hornets’). It is a nest of hornets not one hornet’s nest.
I read this book in just under 48 hours, and it was well worth the time and wait it took to get a hold of a copy. I first read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo as part of a book group we started during my year of AmeriCorps. Although the book was originally scheduled for after the group disbanded, I still wanted to read it. I read both Tatto and The Girl Who Played With Fire as fast as Hornets’ Nest.
