Awesome trilogy
I read all three of his books. Excellent!!!!!!
loved the series
I loved this series of books. So very good.
Very good story, interesting characters, the main female character is well drawn and unique.
Couldn’t put it down
Larsson puts you right in the action. You feel each scene, feel the cold of Sweden, the snow biting your face as his characters move through this story. I put off reading for several years, then read all three books in three months.
Loved the whole series.
The first 50-75 pages are hard to get through, but keep reading! You won’t be able to put it down! Then read the next 2 books!
If you can handle violence, very good book!
I read all three of Stieg Larrsen’s books and they are all 5 star reads. I wonder where he would have taken his stories if he was still alive.
I’m a huge fan of this series
As a book written where the time line keeps adjusting it made following the characters difficult. Second time around made much more sense.
Fabulous read! Hard to put down.
Very addicting. The characters are fascinating, the plot mesmerizing.
Loved all 3 of the books in this series
This book was hard to get into because of the Swedish characters. I lit took me a little while to remember who was who but once I did I couldn’t stop reading.
I read it, did I like it, I don’t know–it had that kind of effect. Now that I think about it, it was like reading directions that were translated from another language. I read for pleasure, I did not want to work that hard.
I read the trilogy some years ago – and watched both Swedish and English movie versions. So I guess you could say it caught my attention. The major protagonist young woman is credible and unique – and takes no guff from the patronizing and dangerous men around her. I would have enjoyed more from the original author – haven’t decided yet about …
Liked this book but not other two in trilogy.
