This is such a good book; it never stops. It sets you up for the next 2 books in the series, laying out some hints about what will be revealed later. I loved this whole series. I have only read the 1st three; I have not read any by a different author, however.
I found it convoluted, difficult to read, & boring.
Love the Millennium series… and Lizbeth Salander character. It took me a bit to get hooked on the first book, but once that was done, I could not put the books down.
Again, the book is better than the movie, though the movie was good. I couldn’t put this book down!
I love this book. The storyline is so good. I couldn’t put it down.
enjoyed the book very much
One of the best books I’ve read in the last few years. Good enough that I read it twice.
excellent writing on a difficult topic
fresh new voice
enjoyed every book in the series
Read it, it is good. I highly recommend it.
an orgy of noir
A great action packed revenge story
Amazing! Edge of your seat story telling!
Strong female lead character, adventure like none other I’ve read, and all kinds of criminal activity are encompassed in this book. Once you’ve read this you will want to continue with the series. It is a good series, despite the fact that the original author passed away and someone else took up the writing. I have enjoyed all of the books in this …
A highly unusual protagonist. Intriguing!
Read this series years ago, and saw the film as well. Books are so much better! This is a set I will read again!
Love the whole series!
Loved this book, couldn’t wait for the next one.
This is a book you have to really pay attention to the small details as you read because they all become important at some later point. Very blunt and twisty plot at the same time. One of my favorite books and much better than either movie.
Love this author.
This is such an original book. I recommend it!
