Stellar. Excellent twist, complicated characters. No clear “good” or “bad.” A truly enjoyable read.

There is too much unnecessary information in this book. The plot doesn’t progress until about 60% in and Lisbeth isn’t really a main character.

i have never seen the movies nor did i really have any idea what the book was about yet i picked it up at the used bookstore for $3.50 anyway. and it totally whipped ass so a good decision on my part i think. 

gotta say that while the english “the girl who…” titles for this series are certainly snappy and memorable the swedish “män som hatar kvinnor” aka “men who hate women” is. well. much more accurate to this book as a whole innit?

(also. should a book about violence against women in the country have made me miss sweden this much?)
