Had a hard time getting into this one so I skimmed it. The subject matter ended up disturbing me more than I realized it would when I chose the book from the library, plus I just didn't care for the writing all that much, but that could have been my mood.

Could not finish. Didn't care for the story.

Could not finish. Didn't like the characters.

Took a day to read this book. I love that this book centered around the heroine, Lisbeth Salander more than the first book did, though she is absent for a small chunk in the middle. I can't wait to see what book 3 has in store for our genius hacker who kicks much ass.

(My review is nothing fancy, I review mainly for myself).

Like others, I struggled with keeping some of the characters that were introduced within the first 100 pages straight, but I mainly contribute that to the fact that I didn't really know how to pronounce them. I have an easier time retaining information when I can pronounce the words. The writing gets a bit wordy but I didn't have a problem getting through the book at all. I still love the character of Lisbeth and am happy that I got to read the end of her story. I think book 2 in the trilogy is still my favorite but I did enjoy this one.

Other than the first-person point-of-view, I enjoyed this book. The subject matter is pretty horrific but I liked the main character and I look forward to the next two books in the series.
