Better than the first one, but the ending killed me! I can't wait to read the next one!

Although a fun read, this book was not as good as the first. I think there are some flaws in the series, mainly from Blomkvist's character. However, it is very addicting and basically a good read!

One of the best series I have read. Every detail keeps you wanting to turn the page. You feel for the characters and it’s just plot twist after plot twist.

dark tense slow-paced

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? No
Loveable characters? No
Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Will i ever write a proper review for this one? Probably not. Just know that I was bored out of my mind! The entire time! How a crime novel where the crime is introduced on (I kid you not) page 198 has an average rating above 4 stars is beyond me. But oh well, I’m happy for all the people who enjoyed this!

Yes, yes... I read [b:The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo|2429135|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)|Stieg Larsson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327868566s/2429135.jpg|1708725] way back when and enjoyed it. But, like a number of other series it took me FOREVER to pick up the next book in the series. I am glad that I finally did. I enjoyed this story. More drama in the life of Lisbeth Salander. I am going to make sure it doesn't take me nearly as long to get to book 3. :)

When this book started with Salander getting a fucking boob job, I thought that I would definitely be rating this around 2 stars. But then I had way too much fun reading this book for that. At least it was less of a mess than the first one, though the reveals were still anticlimactic. I loved all the hacking stuff, and the violence was pretty good/stressful, too. Stieg Larsson is still in love with Salander, but whatever. It's fun. I'm ordering the next one rn.
