Couldn’t get into this book.
Keeps you on the edge of your chair!
It’s a shame Stieg Larsson died defore he could finish the series. His characters come alive, and the story intense.
Well told story. The trilogy as a whole is still a story I think about. The antiheroine is still a character I ponder.
This was well written and gripping. I found it hard to get into at the beginning but it improved greatly after the beginning.
You have to get through the first 100 pages, then you won’t be disappointed.
This book has twists and turns. When you think you got, you realize that you don’t.
It was interesting to me to understand something about the Scandinavian environment as I see the world much differently in my environment, the Rocky Mountains of Utah. It is indeed a big world.
Hands down my favorite book series of all time.
Lisbeth is one of my favorite characters.
Sad that Steig Larson passed away all too soon. Books in this series are spellbinding, complicated, action packed and addictive. The characters are unique, not always likeable but always interesting.
Excellent, excellent, excellent book
Some of the scenes were two vivid, upsetting to read
For me, this and the sequels is an all-time classic.
I’ve read the entire Stieg Larsson series and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The biggest shame is that he died an untimely death after writing the final book. He had a real talent for mystery, suspense and describing his characters with enticing dilemmas that leave the reader anxious for more.
The finest in “Nordic Noir.’ What a heroine to root for at any cost!
Hard to get into, but Wonderful book. I am so sorry the author is deceased. It feels like he lived this. I loved it.
Great writing!!!!
Good book
Kept me reading to see what happens.
