One of my very favorite books. Unpredictable page Turner. I could not put it down.
Great introduction to series, full of truly evil people & a very edgy heroine, who crosses the line on a number of occasions. Not for the squeamish, but for me end justified the means!
Loved it and read all the sequals
What a fantastic author!
I couldn’t put it down.
One of the best reads. Keeps you locked into the characters as the story rolls out.
Elisabeth Salander is a hauntingly wonderful character who is brilliant but tough as nails. This is one of my top ten reads of all time.
We would have given it a 5 star if the last book was better. In the last book around half way through, it felt like it was rushed to wrap it up. It was a good series and page turner though.
Keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Loved it!
Riveting suspense and fast moving story!
Excellent read, one of the best books ever! It had everything you would want in a book and more.
Lizbeth Salander is an intense, interesting character. The plot is twisty and full of action and surprises.
Love this series
While I didn’t really identify with the heroine, the plot was good, the characters well-developed. I thought the sexual relationship between the central male character and his now-married girl friend with her husband’s knowledge seemed unusual, but I’m not Swedish. It’s always satisfying when the good guys win. Everybody (that matters) lives for …
Starts out very slow, then becomes a page turner, I have read the whole series and waiting for the next
As I recall this was the trilogy and the last book written by the original author. The entire series was worth reading.
Great book. Insight into a dark world of intrigue and what can happen when others try to run the world to suit themselves.
Can we ever get enough of Elizabeth Salander.
The female protagonist is a most unusual character with tremendous skills and perception. The action is taunt and exciting as the plot takes many twists that are realistic, though unpredictable. This is a must read, and it is the first of a series with this wonderful, exciting character.
