Had a bit of a slow start (first couple of hundred pages), but I persisted and ended up really enjoying this book. I really liked the Lisbeth Salander character and who doesn't enjoy sticking it to wealthy, unscrupulous business execs and financial gnomes?!?! One of the best parts of this overall ...

Great series. A bit too graphic at times but still fantastic. :)

- I loved how all the storylines twined together so brilliantly.- The world, characters, events, etc were all very realistic and well-written.- The writing was choppy at times and over-descriptive (I made two sandwiches, then I ate them. I also drank a glass of water, etc.), but it contributed to it...

At times I would wonder whether it really needed to be as dirty as it was - did it further the story at all? As a whole it kept me reading though, and I quite enjoyed it. At some stage I'll read the next in the series.

From the start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo hooks the reader, making him not only interested in the main characters but also wanting to learn what is going to happen throughout the book. Stieg Larsson gives fascinating descriptions of Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander, making them both not on...

First of all, why did they change the title? WHY?? Men Who Hate Women is so much more potent and fitting than The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (stylish, but grossly underwhelming).Secondly, why did I watch the movie first? WHY?? Not that the movie was awful or anything, but it's so unsatisfying when ...
