A MUST read!!
Great trilogy
A great psychological thriller with wonderful twists and interesting characters. Slow start but I really liked it.
Lo ed this book , hard to put down once started
Lisbeths characher is lmore edgy than I’m familiar with by far, but she is are interesting. The writing is taut and the characters are knowable. I enjoyed the book, even though parts of it were uncomfortable reading. A good read.
Fantastic trilogy
Not typically a book I read but I definitely enjoyed it. Had some events I didn’t anticipate.
The best of the Steig Larssen trilogy. Salander is a wonderful, if quirky, heroine.
Very entertaining; part of a linked series of novels
Lots of twist … good story
I loved the entire trilogy.
Wonderful read!
I read the series and passed it on. Very interesting trilogy…keeps my interest throughout!
Love, love this story, despite the sad subject material. Not for the squeemish.
If you haven’t reas the Millenium saga you have to. It is entertaining and very hard to put down.
I had to force myself to finish this book. Too much hype for a predictable story with unnecessary plots and situations that lent nothing to the story. I had absolutely no desire to continue the series at all
I loved this book.
Gripping story!
A Five star read. Well developed characters who are likeable! Many twists and it keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat!
