Excellent read, well written, plenty of plot twists!
I believed each character, especially Salander. I found her to be spell binding. I am not a fan of violence but I really enjoyed her responce to those who hurt her. This book is my favorite read this year. I cant wait to read the next two books by this Author.

Very entertaining, could not put the book down and have been waiting for the sequel for a year. Blomquist the reporter, and Salander the different girl with the know how are great characters.

| Nice setting, new characters | June 25, 2009 |
| By: cmbohn | Provo, Utah (US) | |
I heard so much about this book online that I wanted to try it myself. But I have to admit that I wasn't sure about it after I finished the first chapter. It looked like it was going to be about politics and big business, and I hate political thrillers. They just don't catch my interest at all. Happily, I kept reading and then the book shifted again and got into the main mystery. Mikael Blomqvist has been hired to look into the disappearance of Harriet Vanger 40 years ago. Lisbeth Salander, the character in the title, signs on to help in the search.
I wasn't sure how much I would like this one. It seems like when it comes to mysteries, what I enjoy is not what everyone else is enjoying. This has more graphic violence that the stuff I usually read, but I think most of it was necessary to the story and to understand the characters. The characters were certainly original. I loved Lizbeth - what a tough chick! The way she gets revenge on a sadistic lawyer was brilliant.
I will definitely read the next one in this series.

I listened to the audio version (only way to go). It's a classic wonderful story. Two more sequels due. Author died quite young. Next book being translated now from Swedish. Can't wait.

I really enjoyed this book. Set in Sweden with interesting characters. Also enjoyed the description of the landscape - so different to Australia!! Looking forward to the sequel.

The first 200 pages of this novel was like watching the grass grow. After that, not a bad murder mystery. Bit sadistic and far-fetched for me. Too much computer jargon. It was hard work to finish this tale.
