Brilliant books. Eye openers. Loved all 3 of these books. I do not like to write what the books are about, feels like I would spoil them. Read them. Not a romantic read.

Steig Larsson’s writing style makes it easy to get into his characters and into the story… and then the plot grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go.

Read all three volumes with great enjoyment. He supplies a heroine for our times; resourceful, sociopathic, and unforgettable. By contrast, deliberately or not, the male hero comes across as fairly limited: an ordinary man rather than a hero. I had watched the films first and found the books equally exciting and enjoyable.

Probably three of the best thrillers you will want to read, although I still have the three original books in hard back it’s nice to just pick up a tablet for the convenience of being able to read without having to carry three thick books everywhere. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good thriller.
