I don't really understand all the hype about this book. The story and characters were interesting enough to get through it. I guess this just isn't my type of book - too dark and gruesome for my taste. I read to learn something, or be moved or touched in some way, or simply to be entertained. This didn't do any of those things for me.

Saw the movie first; disturbing, but what a thriller
The problem with reading rave reviews is they often raise your hopes a bit too high. That was the case for me with this book. I enjoyed the mystery and most of the characters, but you can tell the book was written by a man. Mikael's best female friend sleeps with him whenever the fancy strikes them and her husband doesn't care? Had to be dreamed up by a man! I did enjoy this book, but no more than most other books from a similar genre.

This book was suprisingly different than what I was expecting. It first started out talking about financial reporting but the author made it so easy to understand. At first I was wondering how these separate sects of story were going to overlap but they came together unexpectedly and made the story great. I must say the statistics the author gives on the violence against women makes you wonder what is going on in Sweden.
