A fitting end to an absolutely amazing series. I was gripped throughout and was very satisfied with the end.

Loved the court scenes when Teleborian got his karmic payback but on balance it didn't grab me as much as the previous two books.

Reading order 1-2-3 and that would be the order of my rating too 5-5-4

Awesome series. Well worth all the hype.

The book kept repeating itself and was stale compared to the previous two.

A nice come back from the 2nd book. I liked that this book was less about action and more about the legal system, which was interesting from an American's perspective. The ending was shocking, but awesome. I'm glad it all worked out for Lisbeth in the end, as much as it could anyway.

A rollercoaster to read which had me up till ungodly hours of the night not able to take a break! The beginning is a bit slow, with many different new characters to get your head round, but once it gets going, it REALLY gets going.

Great! I can't imagine Stieg Larsson writing another book, so I'm glad this rounded out the trilogy.
