This book is a dark, creative page turner that created a whole world around me that was comfortably uncomfortable, until things got really creepy.
If you can push through the first few chapters, which aren’t super interesting, you will enjoy a great thriller with sequels just as interesting.
Wow!
Everyone loved this book but I found it long winded and a little boring
Sexual assault. Common and such a heavy burden to carry through life. Whether it has somehow touched your life or not, this underdog’s revenge is just plain GREAT to read!
Unlikely choice based on lack of interest in tech world but continued finishing series. Heroine a fascinating character.
A totally different concept for a novel. I couldn’t put it down. Then my husband read it too.
Definitely not for the faint of heart or for someone who cannot handle foul language and explicit scenes. If you can get past that, the story of an abuse victim and the man who is trying to solve a mystery is quite a tale.
Fantastic
Loved it.
a non traditional hero
Absolutely a great read.I was very upset when I found out the author had died.
Each book in this series should be read!!
One of the best books I’ve ever read.
Don’t read these books by Lars if you are squeamish about physical abuse. Otherwise, his books are captivating.
The greatest heroine in literature after Elizabeth Bennett!
One of my favorite books! Fantastic characters and unique story.
I loved all the books with Lisbeth Salander. A very good crime story with a great cast of characters.
The first book in the trilogy by Larsen
The absolutely best mistery/thriller books I have ever read.
This book and the other two in the series are the product of a very creative mind. I couldn’t read them fast enough!
