While I was compelled to finish this book, it was not the best in this series. Of course there is the traditional alliance between Salander and Blomkvist, but the other character developments were weak. Overall, I felt this story was lacking depth, difficult to follow and lacking a dose of reality.

This book was definitely not my favorite in the series. I feel like they took forever to get to the point and had too many stories/plotlines going on at once that it was hard to focus. I'm still not even sure how Lisbeth ended up in prison anyways, especially since she was a person who always avoided being caught after the horrific shit she dealt with in her younger years. I feel like the Faria story was unnecessary and made for too much distraction.

But once the plotlines started to come together, it got really good and I couldn't put it down. I wouldn't read this book again, but it was worth reading now to carry on the story of Lisbeth and Blomvquist.

(3.5) Lisbeth Salander is a fascinating character. She should have had a bigger role.

This is probably the worst book in the Millenium series. I am convinced that this guy is messing with Stieg Larsson’s legacy. The entire story is not only unbelievable, it is absurd and so unrelated to Lisbeth who is the main protagonist of the series! Absolutely nothing makes sense...especially the identical twins’ ordeal. Again, why isn’t there more of Lisbeth in the book? Don’t waste your time.
