LOVED IT !!! I wish he was still here to keep continuing the stories.
All of these books are page turners.
Fantastic book – Be sure to read all three is the series!!
This is the best of this series. Read this one and stop there. Good characters and story line.
I loved this book!!! It’s a must read
It took me several attempts to get into The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It starts at a glacial pace. About a quarter through, it picks up pace substantially and became a great read. Lisbeth Salander makes the book a good thriller.
I really enjoyed the intricacies of the plot and the faster pace in the last third of the book. Lisbeth is a great character and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
Utterly unique and compelling mystery. Masterfully written with well-developed characters. Don’t judge the book by the movies — read it.
One of the most suspenseful books I’ve ever read. Chilling, gripping, can’t be put down.
Startling and original, I devoured this and the succeeding books in the series. Lisbeth Salander is an unusual heroine but one who got right under my skin. I don’t usually like books with this much violence but the story was so compelling that I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed the build up and the careful laying out of the research leading to the …
its starts really slow but once the action starts, its hard to put the book down.
Riveting first book of an exciting and satisfying trilogy. Definitely worth reading, unless violence or sexual scenarios offend or disturb you. I’m not particularly fond of reading such books, but this trilogy was an exception. I may have skimmed the most extreme parts a bit, but I’d enjoyed this book and the following two that completed the …
Not for the faint of heart, this book is thrilling and suspenseful.
I can see why this book was so popular when it came out. This is not your traditional character, but she is a force to be reckoned with. Non-stop action.
some people like this kind of book. was different but upsetting
Exciting novel which was made into a movie. I prefer the book.
This was a very interesting book – interesting enough to want to read all of the books in the series
A difficult book to put down ! Different and interesting!
While I was quite taken with this book, I would not want to read it again (or a similar one). The violence was the worst I have encountered in my reading, and it gave me the creeps. Still I recommend you read it for the experience.
I loved it and those that followed by the same writer!
