Amazon.com Review
strongAmazon Best of the Month, September 2008/strong: Once you start emThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo/em, 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 emdon't/em want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --emDave Callanan/embr /br /

 What is all the fuss about!! September 8, 2010
Cathy (Florida, USA)
I really thought I would like this book, since everyone I talked to loved it and couldn't wait to run out and buy the next ones to read. Not me, I found very little interesting in the book and don't understand what all the fuss is about. We read the book for our next book club meeting; it should an interesting book to discuss since people either like it or found it lacking.
 A True Classic September 8, 2010
Richard Thompson
Larsson's ability to captivate the reader with wonderful character development and a dynamite story add up to a fantastic novel. Too bad he's not around to write more. Pulitzer Prize material.
 accidental best-seller September 8, 2010
Edgar Mcgarvey (Fall River, MA USA)
Not even in the league with other Scandinavian mysteries. I'm thinking of the Wallender series and, even more, of Joe Nesbo's Harry Hole adventures. This is just a collage of adolescent clichés, post-modern pseudo intellectual rubbish that is eventually saved by a compelling set of good guys who do very little work to solve the mystery. To really get into the book you need to believe that justice ='s a female Scandinavian superhero and a lot of bumbling and totally unbelievable Swedish folk who are just too good to be true.
 why??????? September 7, 2010
P. Nylen (Saint Paul, MN)
Why the fuss over this standard, boring fiction? Why was it translated into English when you could just as easily grab a Clive Cussler and find the same set of characters: a protagonist who, besides his day job, is mostly moderate in every way and the objectified, horribly-portrayed cast of disposable female characters?
