Absolutely outstanding! This is the first book in the trilogy. It has a slow start but when it takes off, it holds the reader captive. I could not put it down and eagerly read the set back-to-back and can honestly say it is one of the best series I have ever read. Lots of twists and characters that are so compelling and an ending you won’t see …
This was a difficult book to read and keep up with all the foreign names of those involved.
liked it
Great character development in an action-packed book. Wish there could have been many more book from this wonderful author.
First of a great trilogy – haunting, exciting
LOVED these books – I recommend every one of them
Friends of mine boasted the book, so I read it and found it to be something I don’t normally read, but the author’s main character kept you wanting to find out how the main character does what she does. After reading this book, I had to read the following ones.
Very differnent from most of my books but interesting and fun to read.
Get the set, get ready for great reading. Loved it!
Really good book. Made me read all of the original series.
I can’t say enough about this book and the others by Steig Larsson. I was truly captivated by the protagonist. To say it was a great read is an understatement. He(the author) died much too soon.
A great book, period!
Excellent!! Have read at least 3 times and watched the movie. Have read all 3 of the books in this series.
This book was absolutely amazing and impossible to put down.
not my cup of tea
This series of books are great. I recently re-read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It was that good!
Ten times better than the English version of the movie. If you want a true interpretation of the book, watch the Swedish version of the movie.
Mesmerizing
