These are great page-turners. Somewhat wordy but the characters and their weakness are wonderfully developed.
Loved this series of books. They were all great.
Liked the trilogy.
Just simply great!
Smart, witty, fast-paced, mysterious. Tough as nails protagonist who can F*k you up, if you P*ss her off!
The entire Steig Larson series is great. Read in order
Took a bit to get into this story, but it didn’t disappoint
strange and interesting/ Have read all his books. His characters are amazingly realistic with lots of chutzpah .

While not for the queasy-tummied, this is a great read. Tough, tough characters, both inside and out. A true page-turner. Kept me on the edge of my seat.

The first of three novels featuring an engaging but dark character. Masterfully written, it is gripping from beginning to end

This book was not only well written but kept you guessing as to what came next. Had a difficult time putting it down
Do yourself a favor and gnore the slow start. Once this book gets going you never want it to stop.
Totally new setting in Scandinavia. Opens up the world of publishing and the economics of the country. Characters are so real, with flaws and strengths.
plot is moving and unpredictable. Read all three of these by Stieg Larson. Riveting!
Kept me guessing with unexpected twists and turns! Very well written!
