Lisbeth Salander is one of the most original and intriguing characters to appear in modern literature for a very long time. When was the last time you came across a featherweight female boxer with more than a touch of Asperger's syndrome; with strong kung-fu when it comes to computer hacking skills and an unstoppable fighting spirit when it comes to physical blows; with a photographic memory and an uncanny ability to grasp mathematics; a master of social engineering and a ghost of disguises; a formidable chess player and an enemy few people could afford to make?
It is Pipi Longstockings with breast implants, real guns and a killer PowerBook!
Whereas the first installment of the MILLENNIUM Trilogy was more on publisher Mikael Blomkvist and his quest to solve a decades old locked-room/island mystery, this second book gives us a ample view on Lisbeth's history as she straggles to clear her name of a triple murder. She had both motive and opportunity and all physical evidence points to her. Was she desperate enough to actually have done it? What could possibly push her over the edge?
Women trafficking, rogue agents of the Soviet GRU and the Swedish Sapo trying to keep their crimes in the shadows, biker gangs and obscure members of Lisbeth's family all interweave in a very absorbing story that kept me turning pages into the morning hours.
And amongst the fog of all this war, Lisbeth comes up with Fermat's alleged elegant solution to his Last Theorem on her own (no, unfortunately the solution is not described in detail).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

After being disappointed in the first book, I was pleasantly surprised at how engrossing the second book in the series was. I had a hard time putting this one down. If you were able to plod through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, then do yourself a favor and start reading this one as well. You won't be disappointed.

One of the best books I've read recently. Sequences are usually not as good as the first book of a series, but that is not the case. Read more

A good read
This book was entertaining, and easy to read. However, I felt like the ending was rushed and that he didn't properly explain a lot of details about the book. Read more

Ends with a bang....
The culmination of the series. Well written and page turning right to the end. You buy the whole seat, but you only use the edge when your reading this series.

Didn't want to put the book down!
What an amazing read. Too me some time to understand the way it was written since it jumps from one story to the next, but when you get to half way through the book, you don't want... Read more

about The girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I found that the book started off rather slow. I was almost going to put it down, then the story line started to pick up to the point where I could not put it down. Read more
