Loved the whole series.
After reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you’ll immediately pick up the next 2 books in series.
When I started reading this book I was not so sure I was going to like it, but the more I read the harder it was to put down.
Marvelous. Wonderful read. Read them all, but this one is the best. Recommended.
Don’t miss this series! One of the best I’ve ever read!
A great novel written in the European style (no required plot points; no necessary happy ending) which features an action female for the first time in current reading.
Simply put, a great book which draws on vast differences in style and construct to produce a good piece of storytelling.
Good read!
I loved this book, along with the other 2 in the trilogy. I read them several years before the movie. I highly recommend this series, they are original and the main character is so interesting.
It would be hard to top this book for a convoluted and intriguing novel. The first 50 pages are slow, but you will be drawn into a great story. Very good read indeed!
This was emotionally difficult for me to read, and I kept putting it down, but kept picking it back up again because the story was so compelling.
Couldn’t put it down!
Excellent. Not always great images but I couldn’t quit reading.
“Wonderful” is not the right word for Lis Salander. Mesmerizing, violent, amoral.
She steals the entire book.
This is a book everyone should read. It doesn’t hide in the shadows, it fully embraces the dark depths of human character. You are slowly drawn in, then completely devoured by the depravity. This is one of those few books that linger once you have finished the last page.
I enjoyed this trilogy, although at times it was difficult to follow the politics. The story is well-written and filled with enjoyable and intriguing characters.
Love his wwork-fast paced and grabs your attention and imagination from the start
The first part is slow then you can’t put it down
Slow at first, but necessary information. Then all of a sudden, WOW! Maybe the best book I’ve read in years.
Great story
