Extremely compelling start, became draggy in the centre, with many characters and storylines left unexplored.
Wanted to love it but felt a little like a wasted weekend read.

I kept waiting for something to happen. This was just so mediocre.
There were parts that I found a bit slow-going, but overall I enjoyed the book. I had seen the Swedish version of the movie several years ago, so it was nice to refresh my memory on what had happened in the film. The film actually stayed rather close to the book, and really only left out the more disturbing details.

I love love love the (original Swedish) movie that's based on this book. I really liked so much of this book and the excellent backstory it provided for the characters I like so much. This was a fast read, and gripping. It's dark and gritty and gross. My heart goes out to Eli. They've been dealt the biggest blows in life but still found love and companionship.
There truthfully was too much pedophilia and child torture for me to truly love this book. The story was excellent but some of the details REALLY could've been left out.
