Really good read.
One of my favourite series of all time.
Loved this book and the series!
Not an easy book to read but hard to stop. The politics are wading in mud but do add to the story.
A modern classic mystery. Must read.
One hell of a series!
i have read this entire series i would highly recommend
One of my favorites.
I absolutely love this series – I really appreciate the pragmatic and stark world of Scandinavian mysteries and Lisbeth Salander is my hero

THIS AND THE 2 FOLLOWUP ONES HE WROTE SHOULD BE ON EVERY CLASSIC BOOK LIST!
Unpredictable!
Absolutely enjoyed the series.
Hard to get into
terrific book with an incredible female protagonist. I loved it!!

I didn’t remember that the first …
Action packed with lots of twists and turns. Couldn’t put it down
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book is a fantastic read and the beginning to a great series! Don’t give up when reading at the very beginning. It starts slow and a bit confusing but, BAM, you get hooked! You’ll eventually understand how it all ties together. The characters, especially Lisbeth are fascinating and you’ll learn a lot about them. …
