Not for the weak of heart. Depicts graphic violence towards women, but the protagonist fights back in her way.
This book is a page-turner from the first page. It is hard to put it down until you have finished the book.
Great series
On the edge of my seat. Couldn’t put the book down. Didn’t want to finish it. Will miss the characters.
Interesting book about the investigation of a disappearance and suspected murder in Sweden. The names in the book are a little hard to read which can be a turn off for some people.
Phenomenal! Didn’t want to put it down!
Lisbeth Salander happens to be one of my favorite literary heroines of all time. She shows the strength and intelligence that shows that women can be courageous and just as strong as men. Suggested to anyone looking for a complete different story and completely different characters than average books these days!
Can’t skim this book. Settle down to focus and concentrate on this fascinating story, and most interesting characters.
Very different,interesting and entertaining. A very unique lead character well developed. Highly recommend.
This is first book of 3 by the original author! The original author died! Which is quite tragic!He was very talented. Another man is trying to write editions to follow his original books . They are good but they are nothing like Mr Larson
The opening book of a fantastic series. Unfortunately Stieg Larsson died after publishing 3 , but Lagercrantz continues….
If you want to feel the cold winds of Sweden in your face, if you want to know an unsung hero: read this book and the following ones, Lisbeth will always surprise you, amaze you!
Look at the movies, but look at the Swedish …
This book was good but not the type of story that I prefer.
Outstanding series. SO wish this author was still with us!
Oh my, I couldn’t wait to turn the page!,
I thought this book was very informative and insightful! I really enjoyed this book I read all of these books with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Fast-paced Twisted mystery but also an insight to those people with Asperger’s syndrome and why they seem so different and yet it explained the struggle these people have. …
Boring.
Great suspense thriller… strong characters!
Solid. Intense. Well written. I bought and read the next one, and the next one…
Loved it
Read this years ago…better than the movie
