5.0

Although it is extremely hard to keep track of all the characters in this book, it is suspenseful, dramatic, and clever. Lisbeth Salander is one of those characters you just can't get out of your head. Need a break from the heaviness in this book, but will be reading the next one in the trilogy soon!
