Riveting December 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
What a loss and a shame that Stieg Larson has passed on! His talent for keeping one hooked from page to page is extraordinary. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is very well written with intricate twists and unforseen turns and a book I found nearly impossible to put down. I was quite impressed and am now anxious to read The Girl Who Played With Fire. Highly recommendable!
 I don't like mysteries, but this is an okay read December 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The story plot has been summarized in many reviews so I won't recap. Mysteries and bestsellers and mystery-bestsellers are not my favorite. For me, it is problematic in these two regards: 1) about two-thirds through the book there is no mystery. Some implausible event / occurrence /conversation happens that is there specifically to drive the story forward. I can spot it right away and it takes me out of the story. And, 2) the villains are the villains. No subtlety, no subtext.
This book is predictable in that fashion. One more thing, it feels a little bit 'dated' because it's 2002 or perhaps that's the translation.
Still, in spite of those detractions, it's a pretty entertaining read with a definite has narrative drive. There are some interesting tidbits about Scandinavian society, misogyny, corporate evil. Read it for that if not the mystery part.
There are two mysteries that are my gold standard in that each was completely entertaining from page 1 to the end: Smillas Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg and Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss. If you've read either of these two books and agree that those are 5 star, then this would rank as a 3 star.
Stieg Larsson's untimely death at age 50 in 2004 is a tragedy December 3, 2008

I see laments on these pages that "I wish the next one was coming out sooner." Well, I was so fired up by the enthralling "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" that I went to Amazon UK and ordered The Girl Who Played with Fire there. That way, I don't have to wait six months. It's out mid-January 2009. [Rubs hands together!]
About the book, what can I say that others haven't: Stieg Larsson's untimely death at age 50 in 2004 is a tragedy. His manifest talent fairly explodes on these pages. Every aspect of his background - financial journalist, crusader of violence against women, fervent exposer of Nazism, a person with a deep understanding of IT and data security - combines on these pages to make a gripping read that you can't put down. 465 pages never went by so fast.
A Book You Can't Put Down December 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved this book and only wish the next one was coming out sooner. It is a shame that the author died so young. You couldn't wait to find out what was next and the characters were so well described that you felt you knew them. I would recommend this book to anyone.
A crime novel that isn't just your ordinary pulp fiction. December 1, 2008
Lots of interesting characters and plot developments and twists with a roller coaster ride end that while quite satisfying also leaves the reader thirsty for more.
Tragically for him and his readers the author has passed away before seeing his work published.
Fortunately for us readers there are still two more books to come in this trilogy.
