I'm annoyed that we can't have more.

Review Date: September 3, 2010

Reviewer: L. street, london

There are some faults with this book, it isn't a masterpiece of literary skill by any means but.... it's a stonking good read. The reads only get better with each successive book. I loved Lisbeth Salander. Such an utterly flawed heroine is unique in my experience. The downsides are that the author used all three books to grind his own personal axes and this intrudes sometimes. I also think that Blomkvist, for all of his liberal male perfection, was much more flawed than Salander. He has all the emotional depth of an amoeba. You never get the feeling that any of the primary relationships in his life, the one with his daughter included, impact on him greatly. Still, flaws aside, I couldnt put any of the books down.
Great reads.

Reviewer: Mr. D. F. Layland, wales

As a fan of the genre I looked forward to reading this book, but was a little wary of the hype surrounding it.
If I don't like a book, or think it is of poor quality, then usually I pack it in part way through. I had both these sentiments about this novel but persevered to the end as it is the current title for my local reading group.
I can honestly say it is the worst book I have ever read!
The plot is improbable yet so predictable. The characterisation is cold and shallow.....I had no heroes in these pages. The setting offers great potential for the author but his prose did not grab me nor "take me there". The book is at least 200 pages too long (I am particularly thinking of that interminable "tailpiece" when Blomqist is dealt with. Compair this with the brilliant 8 page "Epilogue" in Ian Rankin's final Rebus outing "Exit Music")
The sex scenes I found to be purely gratuitous, apparently there to serve no other purpose than titilation. (no pun intended)
On top of all this we have to grapple with a truly appalling translation. I found this most interruptive, infuriating even.
I could go on but feel I have wasted enough time on "Stieg". On a positive note, though, I must say that someone has done a fantastic marketing job here!
What could I recommend? I've just finished Peter Robinson's "Innocent Graves" (one of the Inspector Banks novels) Absolute top drawer..... go on ...give yourself a real treat!

Reviewer: karen,

decided to read this after reading a bit about the author,could not put it down,it is a trilogy so you do need to read the other two books i thought they were brilliant (my husband wasnt so pleased as we didnt speak for about three weeks or maybe he was )!!!!.

Very Good

Reviewer: Ms. J. C. Footner,

I have seen lots of people reading this series on the train and thought i would give it a go. I actually watched the film first for a change but still read the book and throughly enjoyed it. It is fairly complex and has some twists and turns but is well written. I have just ordered the other 2 books.

amazing
