Terrific book; beginning to end.
Loved it! Loved the main character.
Action packed, great read
I have read this book twice
The main character is a survivor. Tragic life, but interesting how she deals with it. I read all three based on this first one. The first one is the best.
I remember picking this up, because it was so talked about, and really enjoyed it.
Read it before you watch the movie, if you haven’t already seen it.
A waste of time”. Comes from a weird, twisted mind.
a great book in a great series
worth the read
This book and the others in this series, exposed us to a seedy side of the high tech world woven superbly with a colorful past. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo came to life and lured us into the story until reality and story were difficult to separate. I’m waiting for the next story expecting another satisfying read.
It was a little slow getting into the book but once I did, I immediately downloaded the other books in the series. I have not watched the movie based on this book, but did (other than the finance stuff) like the plot line of the book.
Loved these books
A little hard to get into due to different phrases in different cultures but a great story once it got going.
All of Larsson’s books are great. This one was exceptional.
The start in an exciting thought provoking series. Get ready to read to you finish or drop.
I thought it was riviting. I couldn’t put it down although it was terribly scarry.
Could not put it down!
A very good read
My favorite book
A bit gritty.
Surprise, surprise, I loved this book and the complete trilogy. Imaginative premise well carried out.
