Editorial Review:

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.




Rating: - The Girl with the Golden Tattoo
The book arrived promptly and in pretty good condition. Am reading it for my book club. I found it hard to get into at the beginning and find the Swedish place names a bit distracting and difficult. Now I've read quite a bit I am really enjoying it. Not finished it yet but am looking forward to the next one.

Rating: - COFFEE AND SANDWICHES
If you like hearing about coffee and sandwiches this book is for you. There is lots of coffee consumed and a whole host of open sandwiches are scoffed by Mikael, one of the main characters. He seems to eat nothing else. Apart from that, the book is one long crashing bore from start to finish. Nothing actually happens for 187 pages, even the eponymous heroine makes few appearances. We do get a lot of very dull stuff about some implausible investigative Swedish magazine (the very words want to make ... Read More

Rating: - Don't believe the hype
I was debating whether to write a review for this book or not and waste any more time on it, but seeing as the trilogy is still in the Top Ten of the bestseller list, I have decided to add my voice to the discussion after all. I thought the variation of the locked room-mystery quite unusual and intriguing and found it quite gripping in places. Unfortunately the way to the rather unlikely solution was filled with further incredible coincidences and rather nasty scenarios that left a bad taste in my ... Read More

Rating: - Fabulous book!
I finally succumbed and bought the trilogy of books... I thought, if everyone else is reading them, and loves them, then I probably will too...though I started reading the first one, The Girl with the Gragon Tattoo, and prepared myself not to expect much. How surprised I was when I was soon gripped into the story and could not put it down! Unusual for me as I can get bored easily....and I also have 'big-book-phobia' and am usually not keen on books with more than about 300 pages....and, I'm not normally ... Read More

Rating: - I'm annoyed that we can't have more.
There are some faults with this book, it isn't a masterpiece of literary skill by any means but.... it's a stonking good read. The reads only get better with each successive book. I loved Lisbeth Salander. Such an utterly flawed heroine is unique in my experience. The downsides are that the author used all three books to grind his own personal axes and this intrudes sometimes. I also think that Blomkvist, for all of his liberal male perfection, was much more flawed than Salander. He has all the emotional ... Read More
