Writing—does its job. 
Plot/characters—riveting plot and I enjoyed the characters. They were fleshed out well w good and bad traits. Even when I didn’t agree with their decisions, I liked Lisbeth, B, and Henrik. 
Profundity—I need to think on this more. But it addresses treatment of women and mental illness and journalistic ethics so profound issues are addressed.

I really didn’t think I would get into this book. Reading the first 2 chapters was boring and had a lot of Swedish references and I didn’t know what was going on.  But after the Harriet backstory part started I really got into the mystery and read 3/4 of the book in one day.  My only complaint is that the main character, Mikael barely has a flaw and every woman he meets is infatuated with him.
