Character development is impressive and realistic to the story line. Culturally interesting and diverse in it’s narrative.
Loved this book!
Could not wait to finish the journey, unpredictable ending. Characters were well thought out and sincere.
Very good story
Although the story is pretty grim and violent, the characters are very engaging. On one hand it makes me want to visit Norway, but I would constantly be looking over my shoulder after reading this series.
This book is the first of the three part series. I was sad when the author died that I will not be able to read more books by him. I loved the books as much at the original foreign versions of the films made from them.
A great story.
Interesting characters. Names of various characters are a bit difficult to follow fo me but a very good read.
I love this series. Keeps me thinking and guessing, the whole while I’m thinking I’m glad this is not my real world.
This book is very popular but I didn’t like it. But, I don’t like any books with description of torture, so it’s probably just me.
What a wonderful start to a great trilogy
Great story! I will miss Stieg Larson!
Excellent read
Lot of characters
Fantastic plot!!
I just didn’t like this book. Vulgar language, just crazy stuff. Couldn’t follow well.
slow beginning but the ending is great
Forces you to hang on and not let go.
I thought this book was an exceptional read. Plenty of action.
A great thriller. Just a light amount of sex.
Was hard to get into but once you get through the beginning it is a very good book
