I kept hearing how much people enjoyed this book, but I just didn't think it was for me. I knew there was graphic violence and rape scenes in this, and it just didn't seem like something I'd really enjoy reading. But it was my book club's pick this month, so I decided to suck it up and finally read it. Turns out everyone else was right and I really didn't enjoy it.

It took me so long to read this book because my husband and I watched the whole Swedish trilogy before I finished the first book. We stayed up too late some evenings so I didn't have time to read!
I had seen two of the movies before, but it was interesting to see the difference in the book and the movie. Of course, the book was better, but the movie(s) were quite well done.
A great page turner, and I really enjoyed his writing style. Though I probably won't read the next two. I'm Milennium-ed out ...more

totally entertaining--but then again total male fantasy...gets to have the perfect sexual non commitment relationship with his life partner, but attractive women right and left fall at his feet? he's kind of a jerk. so that bit was distracting from the fun of the mystery.

Enjoyed reading this book immensely, but it wasn't the page turner that I expected. Moved a little slowly in some parts, but overall, this was a great read. I have to say that I probably would've have liked it better if I had read it before seeing the movie (which was a pretty decent adaptation).

Not the best writer but good. Incredibly entertaining and hard to put down. His feminist take on things is refreshing but I suspect some of the messaging was lost in translation. It kinds of falls apart at the end, but I still recommend it highly.
Please show, don't tell.
