This book was fantastic! Even more engaging and riveting than the first in the series. I was constantly thinking about the story when I wasn't reading it. I very much liked learning more about Lisbeth and "All the Evil." I'm very much looking forward to reading the 3rd in the series.

A fellow member of the Accra Book Club lent me this book, and I am sad to say that I didn't read it as quickly as I normally would have - partly the constraints of work, I admit. But I did finish it, and enjoyed it. I found the alternating points of view quite interesting and compelling. To me it really added to the story. Am definitely looking forward to the last of the trilogy!

I loved revisiting these characters from Larsson's first book but wasn't as satisfied. Perhaps because the two main charactors, Salander and Blomvhist, spend the entire book apart. I wanted them back together in some capacity. For me this separateness did not create tension but rather dissatisfaction. The plot was not as sharp as the last book either. I am looking forward to the third installment though.

Not sure what happened but 1/2 way through I stopped caring. Well not really stopped, I just wanted to get to the part where they told me what "all the evil" was and solve the whole thing instead of wandering off on too many tangents.

I couldn't put it down. It kept me reading far into the night. I want to start "Hornet's Nest" immediately! Still, the story was gripping and powerful. I have seen the movies but I have to say the book are wonderful to read.
