 Great seriesSep 03, 2010
I read all 3 of these Stieg Larsson "Milennium" books in about 2 weeks on vacation & highly recommend them. Not only are they well written mysteries involving unusal characters, they are windows into contemporary Sweden - a place which, frankly, I'd never thought alot about. You save the cost of an airline ticket and get to see Stockholm a little like you would if you stayed with friends who live there. (This aspect is really enhanced by seeing the movie - produced in Sweden by Swedes.)
I've recommended the book to others & the most common response has been that Dragon Tattoo is so long and full of alot of snoozy non-action and side plots and relationships. I am mostly writing this to tell any new reader to hang in - it picks up and all 3 books together are one fascinating saga. If you are hooked by Lisbeth & Mikael, you'll be glad you stayed with all 3!
The best of the threeSep 03, 2010
Great series. Highly recommended. If/when you see the movies...make sure you read the books first, b/c they don't develop Lisbeth's character fully in the films. The first two movies were very good.
Steig Larsson book #1Sep 03, 2010
Another excellent book which I highly reccommend. Only one more in this series. I understand all three manuscripts were offered at the same time and the author died shortly after.

 Heavily Explicit MaterialSep 03, 2010
I think people should know that this book contains Explicit Material in it's story content. It is about a Serial Rapist.
There are a lot of graphic and grusome details of the sex crimes that are made upon women. If you are aware of this then fine, but I think the author and publisher's made a mistake by not mentioning this to the public in it's reviews or cover.
 I've Read BetterSep 03, 2010
It was hard to get through this book in places and I pretty much guessed who the murderer was as soon as he was introduced in the book. The shining star in the whole book was Lisbeth Salander. For some reason I really cared about what happened to her. We women don't get too many female heroins we can relate to. The fact that she came from disadvantaged childhood, which also led to a less than ideal adulthood made her an even more sympathetic character. Not that I'm that well read, but most heroins in books that I've read (at least books that are fiction) usually come from at least middle class or wealthy backgrounds. I find myself cheering her on, and she is the only reason I would read the 2nd book in the Trilogy. By the way the Swedish version of the movie was a real turd, hopefully the US version will be better, but somehow I doubt it!
