Yes
The first half of the book is pretty slow as it is told in dual perspectives of Lisbeth, a genius hacker with photographic memory, and Mikael, a journalist. Once these two meet to investigate the Vanger families secrets, things really start to pick up. I watched the movie right after and it was a great experience. The movie didn't include much dialogue so reading the book before helped me to understand the scenes as it was almost the same. Lisbeth ridiculously girlbosses and I love her character but some. of the things she goes through are slightly concerning so please check trigger warnings if you are easily triggers by certain contents.
