review 1: My mother Being Swedish I was able to read this thrilogy in the original language. As soon as book 2 came out I got hold of it, and the same with number 3. Lisbeth Salander is the most paralyzing character. Her terrible upbringing and her way out of it - with A little help from Mikael Blomkvist, A political journalist is A tantalizing story. Unfortunately Stieg Larsson died much too Young, but what an opus hel efter us
review 2: 3 books written by Stieg Larsson make up this trilogy The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest. I think this is the first time I have seen the films first before reading the books then found the books far more satisfying. Nothing wrong with the films but the books had me ... moreon the edge from the first part of the story and of course the story carries over the 3 books. When it came to the last book all 746 pages of it I didn’t want to put the book down and seeing as I read most of it when going to bed it was often the early hours before I forced myself to put the bookmark in and get to sleep. The story is now a familiar one of the girl with extraordinary talents in the computer world but no social skills whatsoever. But this was because Lisbeth Salander had been abused one way or another for most of her life and most of her abusers were men and so she came to hate men who hated women. But she was also very good as a researcher which got her a job at Milton Security who’s boss, Dragan Armansky was one of the very few people whom actually like Lisbeth whom in return had some trust in him.When industrialist Henrik Vanger wanted someone to investigate the disappearance and possible murder of his brother’s granddaughter Harriet he chose a magazine reporter who had just lost a very costly libel action against one of Vanger’s adversaries for whom he had no love. The reporter was Mikael Blomkvist and before inviting him to visit he had Milton Security do a background check on Blomkvist and the person who did a very thorough job was Lisbeth Salander. So good was the report that when Blomkvist agreed to find Harriet he chose Salander as his helper which lead to the long association over 3 books. What started out as a mystery novel ended up being a kind of a spy novel by the end of the three books and whichever genre it is regarded as it’s still a cracking good story overall. Lots of detail and having never been to Sweden the location detail was lost on me but none the less it never distracted from the impact of the story. We follow the story from the disappearance of Harriet Vanger and the Nazi skeletons in the Vanger family to a ruthless gang of crooks who dealt with the supply of prostitutes that being girls of 16 years old brought from the Baltics with the promise of jobs and a better life only to end up selling their bodies against their wishes.Along the way Blomkvist and Salander become lovers then went their separate ways before a series of events brought them together again after Lisbeth was wanted for the murder or the attempted murder of 3 men. One of these men was a former Russian defector who also happened to be a member of this gang dealing with the 16 year old girls, many who were used by men in positions of power, something both Blomkvist and not least Salander wanted to expose especially after 2 reporters who were doing just that were murdered. A great set of books where you cannot just read the first one, it’s a must to read all three, you will not be disappointed. less
