"It's like a blast of cold, fresh air to readThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. . . What separates Stieg Larsson's work from [other Swedish crime fiction] is that it features at its center two unique and fascinating characters: a disgraced financial journalist and the absolutely marvelous 24-year-old Lisbeth Salandera computer-hacking Pippi Longstocking with pierced eyebrows and a survival instinct that should scare anyone who gets in her way." Chicago Tribune "Larsson's novel could serve as the definition of page-turner . . . The worst part: We have to wait until summer '09 for the second installment." Time Out New York "A whip-smart heroine and a hunky guy who needsherhelp? This sexy, addictive thriller is everything you never knew you could get from a crime novel." Glamour "Larsson's debut thriller succeeds on so many levels it's hard to know where to begin. First off, it's an absolute page-turner. But the characters are so fascinating and the clear, understated writing so graceful, you are going to want to savor it . . . Electrifying." Portsmouth Herald (NH) "Is the hype justified? Yes . . . This complex, multilayered tale grabs the reader from the first page." Library Journal(starred) "The first U.S. appearance of another major Swedish crime writer is cause for celebration . . . The novel offers compelling chunks of investigative journalism, high-tech sleuthing, and psychosexual drama. What a shame that we only have three books in which to watch the charismatic Lisbeth Salander take on the world!" Booklist "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoois 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 doubt you will read a better book this year." Val McDermid "Dark, labyrinthine, smart, sexy, utterly original, and completely captivating, Stieg Larsson'sThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoodelights at every level. Nuanced, sympathetic characters, caught in a tangle of unusual and compelling relationships, grapple with a baffling family mystery and with their own demons in the unique literary environment of modern-day Sweden. This book is artful and grand entertainment. I couldn't recommend it more highly." John Lescroart "So much more than a thriller,The Girl with the Dragon Tattoois a dazzling novel of big ideas. It tackles issues of power, corruption, justice, and innocenceall the while drawing you into the twists and turns of a frighteningly suspenseful mystery." Harlan Coben "As vivid as bloodstains on snow." Lee Child "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoois an utterly fresh political and journalistic thriller that is also intimate and moral. In spite of its dark unearthings Stieg Larsson has written a feast of a book, with central characters you will not forget." Michael Ondaatje "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 bestseller . . . 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." <i, "Wildly suspenseful . . . an intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing thriller." -The Washington Post "Mesmerizing. . . . Imagine the movies of Ingmar Bergman crossed with Thomas Harris's novelThe Silence of the Lambs." -USA Today "Unique and fascinating. . . . It's like a blast of cold, fresh air to readThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." -Chicago Tribune "A super-smart amalgam of the corporate corruption tale, legal thriller and dysfunctional-family psychological suspense story." -Fresh Air(NPR) "As vivid as bloodstains on snow-and a perfect one-volume introduction to the unique strengths of Scandinavian crime fiction." -Lee Child "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." -Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "A whip-smart heroine and a hunky guy who needsherhelp? This sexy, addictive thriller is everything you never knew you could get from a crime novel." -Glamour "So much more than a thriller,The Girl with the Dragon Tattoois a dazzling novel of big ideas. It tackles issues of power, corruption, justice, and innocenceall the while drawing you into the twists and turns of a frighteningly suspenseful mystery." -Harlan Coben "An exceptional effort for a first-time crime novelist. In fact, a fine effort for any crime novelist . . . This book is meticulously plotted, beautifully paced, and features a cast of two indelible sleuths and many juicy suspects." -Boston Globe "The book lands in the United States as Wall Street sputters and global markets clench, a timely fit to Larsson's themes of corporate corruption. He tells his crime story cleverly, but the zing inDragon Tattoois inked in its two central characters." -Cleveland Plain Dealer "Larsson's novel could serve as the definition of page-turner . . . The worst part: We have to wait until summer '09 for the second installment." -Time Out New York "The biggest Swedish phenom since ABBA." -People "Larsson's debut thriller succeeds on so many levels it's hard to know where to begin.

It's witty and unflinching . . . Larsson's multi-pieced plot snaps together as neatly as an Ikea bookcase, but even more satisfying is the anti-social character of Salander." -Maureen Corrigan,Fresh Air(NPR) "It's like a blast of cold, fresh air to readThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. . .

Lisbeth is a punk Watson to Mikael's dapper Holmes, and she's the coolest crime-fighting sidekick to come along in many years." -Washington Post "An exceptional effort for a first-time crime novelist.

    Great price for this huge book. Shipping was delayed but not too unreasonable though the book could have been packed a bit better with some bubble wrap as it tore through the very thin mailer envelope. Would recommend seller to cushion heavy books better when using thin mailer envelopes to avoid the tearing and potentially loosing books. Book is as described! Satisfied with my purchase and would buy from again if packaging was more sturdy. Thank you :)

    As described ,nice price, quickly shipped but not in a padded envelope, nor with a cardboard padding inside a regular envelope, so corners of book were free to be bumped in transit. They were not. The book looked good even with a tear at one corner of the envelope. Both the seller and the buyer were lucky.

    High quality book arrived in good condition as described. The book's appearance is satisfactory. A great value! Shipping: Seller shipped promptly. But I received an eBay message saying: USPS made a delivery attempt but were unable to proceed due to an insufficient address. Huh? Also, shipping history said book was "Held at Post Office At Customer Request." I didn't request this to be done! Next day I went to my USPS office. They fished around & found package. My address was correct. Weird.

    one of the best books i have ever read. Right up there with "The Count of Monte Cristo"

    This might be the fourth or fifth time I've read the books (all three in the series). I'm a writer and I learn from Stig Larsen and will always regret he died before he could see the incredible effect his books have had one tens of millions of people.

    Gripping enjoyable read.

    You won't be sorry when you read this first of three books by Stieg Larsson. The characters are very well thought out and the story line is compelling. Many surprises. I have heard that some people find it too dark but I do not agree. The next two novels are a must read as well. You won't want to stop at one!

    Good but not great.

    Good story, not great, but good. Worth the read, if you are interested in the synopsis.

    Engrossing mystery

    It starts off slowly but quickly becomes a page turner. Engrossing mystery and subplots! It is an excellent read and i recommend it.

    The girl with/who

    It's a whodunnit. Normally I'm not a fan of mystery novels, but these are a rare exception. I saw the movie first, and felt compelled to read the book. Incredibly for Hollywood, they stuck almost perfectly to the book, which is why the movie is so good. I finished the dragon tattoo, and am on the second book, and neglecting nearly all else. It is to be heartily recommended.
