I could not get into this book at all. I felt maybe it got lost in translation!! Sorry to all those that enjoyed it

Didn't rate this book very highly - mostly because I don't think it's well written and some of the storylines are straight out of another crime writer's book. If you've read Val McDermid's 1999 novel A Place of Execution you'll know what I mean. In A Place of Execution, the main character (a journalist) reinvestigates the disappearance of children back in the 60s only to discover that sexual abuse of children happened and also, in this story, one of the children that supposedly disappeared presumably murdered is in fact is alive and well and living in Canada. Does this not bring to mind the supposedly murdered character in the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo who is discovered alive and well and living in Australia!!! To make matters worse, as an Australian who grew up on a sheep station, I find Larsson's description of the Australian cattle property and the events which take place there highly unbelievable. A little bit of research would have done wonders for this section of his novel. It's also somewhat portentous that Larsson describes his main character Blomqvist reading a Val McDermid novel early in his story.

Now if you want to read a wonderful thriller from Scandinavia which is well written, why don't you try Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Danish author Peter Hoeg.

Loved this series, it was awsome I want to see the movie

This book is one of the best books of all time i highly recomend this book to people or if u like romance i re omend the book perfect chemistry.

If he was still with us he would have turned 58 on August 15th and he probably would have been enjoying the enormous success that his books had achieved in the recent years. Unfortunately, he never lived to see it and we will never discover how he really meant to finish the story of Mikael and Lisbeth. What writer do you think could finish his story?
