I loved this book even more than the first and can't wait to read the last one! The plot twists aren't totally unexpected but I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't even have the time to analyze what might come next. I would highly recommend this book!
veel te veel info, boek had zeker de helft korter kunnen zijn. daardoor had ik soms moeite om m'n aandacht er bij te houden en begon ik me te irriteren. Toch is de kern van het verhaal wel boeiend.
a very good book, but there are others in that genre that are way better.
I liked this book better than the first, but I'm not yet getting why these books have been so immensely popular.
Great book! I love this series and can't wait to read the last book!
i liked this story way more than i did the first.
perhaps it's because i was already familiar with the characters and i didn't have to go through that whole "intro" portion again. perhaps it was that this story was more interesting to me (i just didn't love the corporate intrigue plot in dragon tattoo). perhaps it is because the book really delves into the past (and present) of our antiheroine, lisbeth salander. we finally get some answers on why she is the way she is, what "All The Evil" means, and why she's the woman who hates men who hates women.
i think that larsson has incredibly strong and interesting characters in both salander and blomkvist, great for writing more and more sequels, and even better for making films out of these books. it's disappointing to think that there's only 1 more book to go. this light was extinguished way too early.

La trama. Empieza muuuuy lento. Muchas de las veces parece que solo te esta dando información innecesaria por el simple hecho de hacer mas, y mas paginas. Demasiada exposicion, se siente como si toda primera mitad del libro fuera el texto de introducción de Guerra de las Galaxias. Es mucho mas tedioso que el primero, al menos la primera mitad.
Luego agarra monte. De pronto todo es emocionante y por fin después de 1 libro y medio y mas de mil paginas dentro de la serie empiezas a compaginar en la opinión sobre Lisbeth con el autor. En el primer (y la mitad del segundo libro) te la describen como alguien ridículamente inteligente, con memoria fotográfica, con la capacidad de entender algo con solo mirarlo, el mas grande genio de la informática de todos los tiempos, pero todas estas afirmaciones parecen vacías. Solo aseveraciones lanzadas al aire que no impactan realmente la historia, ya que nunca las usa. Parece la imagen grandiosa que un autor quiere dar a su personaje principal, pero sin saber como. Pero en la segunda mitad de este libro ya empiezas a comprender y a estar de acuerdo con el autor.
El libro termina bien, de una forma algo cliché, pero eso esta bien. Ojala el tercero sea mejor. Sea mas de la segunda mitad de este.
El lenguaje no es nada especial, aunque estoy seguro que tiene que ver al menos en parte con la dificultad de traducir de un idioma a otro totalmente distinto.
Estoy seguro de que a alguien que le encanto el primero le encantara este; así como estoy seguro que para los entusiastas de las novelas policíacas o los thrillers sera una afable inversión de su tiempo, pero creo que solo terminare esta saga por una manejable curiosidad del resto de la historia, y por la insistencia de alguien.

I really enjoy these books, but the violence and hatred in them is really intense. Misogyny, homophobia, sexual violence... some of it is necessary for the plot, but some of it (in this instance, the entire character of Faste) seems gratuitous. Also, not sure why Salander's breast implants are worthy of constant mention in the first half, or why all the female characters are either lesbian, bisexual, or polyamorous... and of course they are also martial arts experts! The men are either extremely honorable or complete jerks who deserve to die horrible deaths. This book reminds me a bit of some of the darker Japanese anime, with extreme, hyper-sexualized characters.
4.5… liked this one more than the first book. Excellent and gripping plot. Wish Larsson gave us just one more chapter to explain the outcome at the end. *Sigh* I guess I’ll just have to read the next book to find out!
I strongly dislike nearly every male character in this book. They’re made to be loathsome though so I can’t hate the book for that. It’s uncomfortable to read because of how shitty the characters are and what they do. This is a dark book but it’s also fascinating. I read the first one a year ago so I didnt remember too much about it but the author gives enough clues so you can still understand the story, even if you don’t remember a whole lot of the previous book. (It definitely would make more sense if you just read them back to back but it’s fine not to). The thing that makes this book a bit hard to get into is the fact that the author uses first and last names and nicknames for the characters all the time so you have to remember all three names for each character and there’s a lot of characters so it took a while for my brain to be able to remember them all.
I like how none of the characters are really likable. I don’t like Salander bc she had sex with a 17 year old (which isn’t as bad as raping a fifteen year old, as other characters have done, but it’s still a gross act even if the kid was consenting. That’s still a child and idk why the author included that. It literally added nothing to the story except to make me not like her).
I like how it you get bits and pieces of the puzzle until you’re at the end and bam! All the details come flooding in and it all makes sense. It’s so satisfying to read and to see how much of your own thinking was right.
I’ve started the next one right away bc of that damn cliffhanger. I simply can’t wait another year to read the next one.
