Lisbeth is an amazing character and also awful. she makes me want to rip my hair out, but i can also respect that shes so unique and different from every flimsy protagonist of today that i have to respect her.
blomkvist bored me to tears in some parts, but was oddly likeable in a few others? definitely found his perspective the most difficult to read at the start of the book.
the complicated family tree and legal issues definitely killed a few brain cells off, but the action parts (although few) brought them back.
overall, not a book i want to read again in a hurry, but one i have an odd amount of respect for.
