Not only did I really enjoy this trilogy, but I found it amazing that Steig Larsson could write three international best sellers with domestic/ gender abuse as a theme. I think most people I know would not have started the trilogy if that had been the selling point, but Larsson did an amazing job keeping the stories fast-paced, slightly scary and incredibly informational.

Best book I've read in awhile. Even though it was tough getting used to the Swedish names and not really relating to the location, I got over that quickly because the writing was so intriguing. I can't wait to read the other two books and this novel has definitely piqued my interest in the mystery/thriller genre. This book does live up to the hype everyone, and it should be read post-haste.

A bit graphic and took me a day or two really settle into the story, but then I couldn't put it down!!! I love the way the story is broken up into parts with stats on violence against women in Sweden. LOVE that. Salander=my best friend Candice in many ways. and that is both frightening and awesome.

You really never know someone. People have the darkest secrets; there are so many sick ones out there... it is scary. Overall a great book, although a bit slow at start. Salander is a great character! Can't wait to get more... On to the next book in the series :)

A little confusing for the first hundred pages or so but a very enjoyable read
