This thriller is slow going at first but, like a snowball gathering momentum, becomes so engrossing that it is hard to put it down.
Larsson's book chronicles an investigative journalist hired by a wealthy business executive to solve a cold case of suspected murder in the '60's.
As mentioned before, the book is very slow getting started. It is perhaps 100-150 pages in before I started to become especially curious as to what would happen next. At that point, layers of complex drama and intrigue beg ...more

I loved it! Sorry it took me so long to read it. Several people said is was very violent which is why it took me so long. I did not think it was excessive but really added to the story. I loved that there were multiple plots and I loved the charaters. Lisbeth was so flawed and not always easy to like but I think that made her that much better. Cannot wait to see what happens in the next book.

I could not find a part of this entire book that I liked and the only reason that I did not give it one star only is because it is not the authors fault that I truly hated this book. The book was well written it was just not to my tastes and I am pretty excited that it is now off my ever growing TBR list so that I can read some other books I know I will walk away from loving.

I may be one of the few that could not finish this one.
I enjoyed the book and couldn't wait to get to the next one. For those who feel it is glamorizing upon the victimization of women, I fail to see it. Events happen every day that creates victims, and while this doesn't solve any social issues, it shows a strong woman who refuses to be a victim throughout an interesting and twisting plot.

The most stunning novel i have ever read. Initial part was little slow but the last 200 pages were awesome...
I postponed reading this book because of the hype around it. I missed out. It’s a great read.
