Critic reviews

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME

"Cases rarely come much colder than the decades-old disappearance of teen heiress Harriet Vanger from her family's remote island retreat north of Stockholm, nor do fiction debuts hotter than this European best seller...At once a strikingly original thriller and a vivisection of Sweden's dirty not-so-little secrets, this first of a trilogy introduces a provocatively odd couple." (Publishers Weekly)

"Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson's first novel." (The New York Times)

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a striking novel. Just when I was thinking there wasn't anything new on the horizon, along comes Stieg Larsson with this wonderfully unique story. I was completely absorbed." (Michael Connelly)

I couldn't stop listening to this book - I had to finish it. It's not edge of your seat kind of thriller - it's more of a suspenseful thinking kind of thriller - if that makes sense at all. It has enough twists to make your head spin and it was kind of confusing at the start since there were so many characters involved, but it was very well written and the characters' lives and the way they cross paths is just very good story telling. The narrator was very good, too.

Very Well Written

My recommendations maybe a few years late but better late than never.

I've seen both the Swedish(2008) and US(2012) versions of the movie and they both do not stand a chance before this masterpiece. The movies destroyed many good things which supposed to be known and appreciated by the reader.

When I started listening It took me 3 tries to go past first 30 minutes ( Mr Vance has a very specific voice, takes some time to get used to) but than I couldn't stop.

Please read or listen but don't watch this crappy movies.

In the tradition of great Swedish mysteries, Stieg Larson does a lovely job with this book. Calm, direct, unemotional, and fascinating, this book delivers. Great narrator as well.

Wonderfully Swedish

This book was quite entertaining. It starts and ends a bit slow, but the middle 7/8ths of the book is quite a good mystery.

It's not a perfect book, but it was definitely worth a listen.
