Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best of the Month, September 2008: Once you start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back. This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston and Michael Connelly. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --Dave Callanan



Product Description
Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

5 out of 5 stars Intelligent and Intricate   March 19, 2010
D. Horst (MD)
I considered this book for several months before taking the plunge. I am glad I did and will be looking for the next two books in the series. It is intelligent and intriguing. There are plenty of unknowns to keep you wondering, and just enough information is given to keep you on the hook sort of speak. I agree with another reviewer on here, the first 30 pages or so are kind of odd, and leave you thinking you missed something, but fear not it all comes together.

A must read if you like smart mysteries with intelligent dialogue, developed characters, and multiple plot layers.



5 out of 5 stars great read   March 19, 2010
Gretchen Allen (MO USA)
For the first 70 pages or so I thought that this was a real sleeper. It is confusing as it goes back and forth between 2 stories, neither of which we know a thing about. Take character notes in the beginning so you can easily identify the characters as they appear later in the novel. Several times I thought I had figured out the mystery, only to find another twist! I loved this book and cannot wait to start the authors follow up novel with this same amazing woman!!!


2 out of 5 stars Audiobook Review   March 19, 2010
Santa Clarita Mom (Santa Clarita, CA)
Since I have a long commute I decided to listen to this book instead of read the book. The audiobook is difficult to listen to because the reader (Simon Vance) does not adjust his voice enough to distinguish between the characters. Often throughout listening to this audiobook it was difficult to determine who was talking. I've listened to every Harry Potter book and this book doesn't even come close. Jim Dale does an excellent job distinguishing his voice for several different characters. He does such an excellent job that you can visualize each character while listening to the Harry Potter series. Simon on the other hand with this book barely distinguishes his voice, if at all.

The book content itself is entertaining, but the plot is obvious. Although I think I would have enjoyed the book much more had I read it instead of listened to it.



2 out of 5 stars ok but not the greatest (hype)   March 18, 2010
Ernst Efendum (new york, ny USA)
A real disappointment, in my opinion. It starts and ends amateurishly. The payoff for having learned about these characters isn't enough, by any means. I know others love this book but I found it predictable. The theme of men hating women is over-played and distracts from the story line. As a writer I noticed far too many of his gimmicks. I won't be reading the rest of his books. Far too many other better authors to read.


4 out of 5 stars Girl with the Dragon Tattoo   March 18, 2010
Frances J. Corn (Puyallup, Washington United States)
quite intricate and challenging. I am anxious to learn more about dragon girl in the next 2 releases.
