wajone 's review for:

5.0

Everything that seemed unnecessary and gratuitously misogynistic in the first book (The [b:Girl with the Dragon Tattoo|2429135|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1)|Stieg Larsson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275608878s/2429135.jpg|1708725]) is explained in this book. We finally get the back story on Salander, and she emerges as an even more compelling heroine in this Swedish potboiler. Perhaps a few too many references to IKEA and 7 Elevens, but otherwise a thrilling read that I couldn't put down.
