I finally read this book! It took me until about halfway thru to get into it. I felt the author gave so much backstory about the main character, most of it was not necessary to the story. Once Lisbeth came on the scene, the story picked up. I look forward to reading the other novels and I cant wait to see the film.
Millennium trilogy, book one.
I liked this one, but didn’t love it. I’d give it 3.5 stars.

Lisbeth Salander remains one of the best characters ever developed. The story is a true thriller, lots of twists and turns.
A good thriller, solidly written. I found Blomkvist annoying but will read the follow up for more Salander.
