Being a self-confessed book worm I can assure you that this series of books by the very talented Stieg Larsson is nothing like any other novel you've ever read. The characters simply explode on your face, the story line is gripping, and its the best combination of intrigue, violence, and romance that I bet you will not find in any other novel.
Its really a tragedy that Larsson died even before his books went into print and before he could see what a worldwide phenomenon they've become!

This is an amazing book, usually I don't read books but this is a great book,I read it when going to sleep, I love it, it is drug for me, get it or get a life! I really love it and no words for it, I am even going for the movie's bluray now :D

Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" Series kickstarts with a brilliant novel — The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The plot revolves around the disappearance of a teenage girl, for whom her grandfather has gone to great lengths to find. After about 30 years, this man hires Mikael Blomkvist, a financial reporter, and Lisbeth Salander, a brilliant computer hacker, as a final shot at bringing back his granddaughter.
As the story proceeds, the plot thickens, and starts delving deeper into the human psychol...

The lead character is an absolute treat...she has so many layers and still seems so cut away from the world...this is a really nice book and i am pleasantly surprised that this was the author's first.. cant wait to read the next 2 of the trilogy....Definitely recommended for all....

The book is overall good but it was not like people have described it.It certainly has some strong characters especially the girl with dragon tattoo.I would like to rate it as a good crime thriller but not among one of the greatest reads.

I gave it a 4/5 because it IS an excellent read , and the characters are fascinating but the plot isn't spectacular.
Don't get me wrong , it's great , just not as great as the recent hype would have you feel.
The themes are dark and the overall mood of the story is pretty grim.You'll be able to tell that it is a translation ( from the original Swedish ) but that's not to say that the translation isn't good , it IS.
Over all , without spoiling anything I'd say the characters , and one in parti...

A dark and deeply engaging thriller about a manhunt that soon takes a rather twisted turn. I must admit I bought it specifically to read before watching the movie and I couldn't be more glad that I did. As much fun as it would be to watch the movie, I can't imagine Larsson's character design for Lisbeth Salander to be replicated as well in a movie as is in the book.

I definitely recommend this for whoever loves to sit back with a fast-paced, yet intelligently written thriller. Can't wait to...

It seems to be an act of pure providence that I had gotten a copy of this book almost 2 years back as part of a review package. But it hadn't struck me then how big it was slated to be. And now that David Fincher decided to make a movie of it, I rushed to flipkart and ordered for the book in an attempt to read it before the film released in India. Fortunately for me, the book is a certified page turner. It's breathlessly paced, has quite well rounded characters and makes you genuinely concern...

It takes a few pages into the book to get a grip.. And after that it just HOLDS you.. The character development and the plot is pretty good. It keeps you interested till the very last page.
A good introduction to a very good series...
