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.

Men that are so openly feminist are the best!

Tack so mycket Stieg Larson, jag älskar den hör boken.

Ich habe dieses Buch verschlungen, weil ich es nicht aus meinen Händen nehmen konnte!

It started kinda slow and was a bit of a drag but It picked up pace and I guessed

that Harriet is alive

I did not appreciate the excessive descriptive scene of gruesome acts against women but I guess the book is a product of its time. 
It's a engaging mystery novel but it was not really extraordinary and the plot didn't surprise me that much.
