Steig Larsson definitely have a thing for words. He organised the story such that a large number of characters and description of various settings did not even once, felt too much to take. It is especially for those who love detailing and yet it doesn't slow the pace of the story.
The prologue introduces us to a bizzare case, which turns out to be even crazier and is packed with such intelligent case solving skills and realistic feels, it blew my mind.

Indulging political and financial matters and sharp portrayal of hate crimes against women, which were so ingrained in the main plot made the book a lot more than what regular mystery crime thrillers look like.
A masterpiece!!!
