An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel. Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He … hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I loved it!
This book was hard to follow. I am not squeamish, but some parts of this book were too graphic for my taste.
I loved this series despite the violence and evil that should break the main character, yet seems to create a steel core, woven with will and intellect.
This was a dark, scary, page-turner that compels you thru this womans ordeals as she sets up a genius level attempt at revenge. A great story.
Brilliant & so are his other two books.
It was fiction action packed, with a girl hero. The writer wasn’t bad either. I think it was about real problems that exist, as it was the first of three books and the author was killed before he could write more. This is a great book.
This is an awesome book. I read the next ones, too!
Grt author..u pull 4 this girl..hurt 4 her..maybe dont like her..maybe love her..its so well written n full of twists n turns..yes its a really good read
Loved this book and the whole series
I read this book several years ago (actually the whole trilogy) and later watched each movie based on the books. It is not a book for the squeamish, but the mystery and plot development is simply excellent.
i read all of Larsson’s books All were very good.
I recommend it with caution. It’s action packed and unpredictable (to use adjectives suggested by Bookbub!) but violent. Not for the faint of heart, I’d say. I have not brought myself to read the sequels yet.
Couldn’t finish it.
Very good book
This was a new adventure for me. I read the entire series. This was definitely the best.
Love the whole series. Twisted characters. Especially love Liz.
All three books in this series are great reads. I will read again in a few years.
Great book. Couldn’t put down
Great read
Not for the squeamish. Recommend all three in the series.
