On the edge of your seat throughout the entire book. You will really root for the main character.
It doesn’t get much better. Well, once you get the family members sorted out.
I have to start by saying, it took some time to get into. I’m glad I stuck with it though because I went on to read the series! Those first pages were necessary to setting up the plot and the characters. Great read!!!
I recommend this book. I finished the trilogy as soon as I got my hands on it.
EXCELLENT READ!
Wow. If you haven’t read this and you like to read a book you can’t put down, this is it. It’s dark but it’s good.
One of the all time best!
I’ve read the series and won’t read another one like it EVER on purpose…..to graphic, violent and just plain scary for me.
Intense! A good read
Excellent. I don’t know where to start. This is not a romantic lightweight novel. It is full of intrigue, unique story lines, fascinating characters. I also learned so much about countries I didn’t know much about, as well as international conspiracy and cyber manipulations. I couldn’t put it down.
This book was a rollercoaster of confusion for me, but I LIKE not knowing how a story is going to end.
Took forever to get into initially, but glad I stuck it out. So good.
I only wish he were still living so I’d be able to read more of his works. What a talented man!
Great book! Grabs you by the heart!
what’s not to love – its a well written, intelligent story line that does not pretend to be something it’s not. It’s fast running, wonderfully detailed , and most clever with delightfully flawed characters. This book is part of a trillogy and what’s even more amazing is the fact that they are alll equally good. I am shattered the author has passed …
Read the three books in the series. Finished one and immediately bought the next.
They were that good.
Read this book and the rest of the series. A bit graphic at times, but highly engaging and entertaining. Great plot an character development.
Do not understand the hype.
You get hooked trying yo figure out Lisbeth Salander just like the Mikael Blomkvist.
I love the the whole series. A real page turner, scary,unpredictable,tragic and twisted. A very good book!!!
