3.0

It started kinda slow and was a bit of a drag but It picked up pace and I guessed

that Harriet is alive

I did not appreciate the excessive descriptive scene of gruesome acts against women but I guess the book is a product of its time. 
It's a engaging mystery novel but it was not really extraordinary and the plot didn't surprise me that much.

3.5

Intense character depth, I don't think I've read anything like it before. That being said, I debated giving four stars because it moved too slowly for me, and I kept getting bored and thought repeatedly about not finishing it. I decided to give 4 stars because the story was really good, and the characters were so well done.

I needed a Vanger Family Tree to keep track of so many characters, though, and I could have done without a lot of the superfluous information, which felt like filler just to make the book longer. 🤔 3.5 stars?

The first half of the book is slow but when it picks up the wait is worth it.
