Product Description
National Bestseller
An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel.
Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pieced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.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

Big disappointment
Starts off slow, then gets better, end is a disappointment. A waste of my precious reading time.

Attempts to be too many different books. The final message seems to be that no woman is whole without a man.

Hi,
This is the secound time I am ordering the same item and both times the binding of the book had quality issues. Secound quality selections is not to be expected when you pay 18 euros for the book.

Beyond a fast read for a 500+ page novel, it is nothing to rave about. Reading the ebullient reviews one would imagine that there has never been a writer who has written such a tale. What rubbish! All this serial murder stuff intermingled with almost ridiculous and moronic explains of computer hacking really gets your goat.
I know the writer has died and all that but to highlight this book and hoodwink the public to buy it, is, I think, immoral. I hardly could find any difference between this book and some good Hadley Chase I read many years ago. Having said, it is not a boring book but not a lunar explosion that you must have to read. It is the best book of NO YEAR. Don’t be a FOOL! Filthy, regressive Swedish Garbage!!It even doesn’t have the comfort of being “intellectually” obscene. Any wannabe having history of incomplete education, pretensions of greatness and perpetually high on Fat soaked Swedish diet could have written this Z-grade, Soviet-quality thrash. I’m thinking of turning it into a roll of toilet paper! I wonder if it is even worth that…
Dumma nya!!!!
P.S.-> The proceeds don’t even go to the late writer’s GF but to his Dad and Brother.

First time I have written a review. This was the most ridiculous book I have read in years. Improbable. Unlikeable. Gratitutous. Tedious. Lovely Bones and Child 44 are more than well worth reading. Thanks, Karen
