I would agree with others that it's brilliantly written and deserves the praise it gets for how well rounded the characters are, how unique and unpredictable the plot is, and for the sheer emotion and attention is commands. It's definitely a book that sticks with you for sure, but please please make sure you check the triggers first.
However, it actually wasn't the brutal/intense scenes that made me restart it so many times, but how dense the start is. A key part of the plot does revolve around understanding finance and financial law, so we can understand what Mikael's (the main character) situation is. But I found myself losing interest and struggling to understand all the intricacies of this. (Disclaimer: I did had a very limited understanding of these going in).
For these reasons, I found that once I'd read about 150 pages, it was hard to put the book down, but prior to that, I struggled to stick with it.

- I never read mystery but this was actually very good!
- definetly was a good book to make into a movie cause the dialogue in the book feels like a movie script.
- I 🖤 lisbeth salander
- i feel like I'm probably not gonna read the other books in the series but you never know

While I definitely did make a number of correct guesses in the first half of the book for the ending, there was still one puzzle I didn’t figure out, and I quite enjoyed the entertainment that was acted upon in solving that last mess. This was a thrilling ride of torment and love (not together).
Note: know your personal triggers and what you can handle. Sexual abuse and violent crimes against women is a theme that pops up several times and is graphically described.
