Noralyn told me not to see the movie before I read this, but unfortunately I already had. Knowing the way the mystery worked out detracted from my enjoyment. I also tried hard to create my own picture of Lisbeth, but kept seeing the movie in my head. I think the book could have been about 200 pages shorter and wrapped up a lot quicker. I normally do not read mysteries/ thrillers so I'm not sure if I'll read the other two. ...more

I started this book about 3 times before I was able to get into it. My friends' nagging me kept me trying. It really is an excellent mystery with an element of horror also. Lisbeth Salander is one of the most interesting heroine's to come along in awhile. Reading this book made me more curious about my Swedish heritage. My ancestors are from Varmland which is mentioned in the book. I will be looking for the next one in the series. ...more

I was disappointed in this book. After all the hype about what a great book it is I expected it to be better. For me their was far too much detail that detracted from the plot/characters. I think it would be a much better book with some ruthless editing.

Well....I finally finished this book. It took me way longer than 50 pages to get into it, more like 200. I can't say that I liked it overly much. Please don't crucify me, I know all of the hoopla of this book and I really tried to like it, I just didn't. ...more

I fought buying/reading this for so long due to its mass-market appeal, but had to give in because it became a book club selection. Happy I read it and will have to admit - I'll probably read the next two books as well.

The character development phase of this book (approx the first 1/5 of book) is slow, but I can see how necessary it was given that the protagonists will appear in the next two books as well - but it picked up quickly after that. ...more
