"Wildly suspenseful . . . an intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing thriller." -The Washington Post "I doubt you will read a better book this year." -Val McDermid "Mesmerizing. . . . Imagine the movies of Ingmar Bergman crossed with Thomas Harris's novelThe Silence of the Lambs." -USA Today "A blazing literary sensation [this] dark-hearted thriller. . .is now poised to burn up bestseller lists in America." -Vanity Fair "Unique and fascinating. . . . It's like a blast of cold, fresh air to readThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." -Chicago Tribune "A super-smart amalgam of the corporate corruption tale, legal thriller and dysfunctional-family psychological suspense story." -Fresh Air(NPR) "As vivid as bloodstains on snow-and a perfect one-volume introduction to the unique strengths of Scandinavian crime fiction." -Lee Child "Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson's first novel." -Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "A whip-smart heroine and a hunky guy who needsherhelp? This sexy, addictive thriller is everything you never knew you could get from a crime novel." -Glamour "So much more than a thriller,The Girl with the Dragon Tattoois a dazzling novel of big ideas. It tackles issues of power, corruption, justice, and innocenceall the while drawing you into the twists and turns of a frighteningly suspenseful mystery." -Harlan Coben "An exceptional effort for a first-time crime novelist. In fact, a fine effort for any crime novelist . . . This book is meticulously plotted, beautifully paced, and features a cast of two indelible sleuths and many juicy suspects." -Boston Globe "The book lands in the United States as Wall Street sputters and global markets clench, a timely fit to Larsson's themes of corporate corruption. He tells his crime story cleverly, but the zing inDragon Tattoois inked in its two central characters." -Cleveland Plain Dealer "Larsson's novel could serve as the definition of page-turner . . . The worst part: We have to wait until summer '09 for the second installment." -Time Out New York "The biggest Swedish phenom since ABBA." -People "Larsson's debut thriller succeeds on so many levels it's hard to know where to begin. First off, it's an absolute page-turner. But the characters are so fascinating and the clear, understated writing so graceful, you are going to want to savor it . . . Electrifying." -Portsmouth Herald (NH) "Is the hype justified? Yes . . . This complex, multilayered tale grabs the reader from the first page." -Library Journal(starred) "The first U.S. appearance of another major Swedish crime writer is cause for celebration . . . The novel offers compelling chunks of investigative journalism, high-tech sleuthing, and psychosexual drama. What a shame that we only have three books in which to watch the charismatic Lisbeth Salander take on the world!" -Booklist "<, "It's like a blast of cold, fresh air to readThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. . . What separates Stieg Larsson's work from [other Swedish crime fiction] is that it features at its center two unique and fascinating characters: a disgraced financial journalist and the absolutely marvelous 24-year-old Lisbeth Salandera computer-hacking Pippi Longstocking with pierced eyebrows and a survival instinct that should scare anyone who gets in her way." Chicago Tribune "Larsson's novel could serve as the definition of page-turner . . . The worst part: We have to wait until summer '09 for the second installment." Time Out New York "A whip-smart heroine and a hunky guy who needsherhelp? This sexy, addictive thriller is everything you never knew you could get from a crime novel."

Just when I was thinking there wasn't anything new on the horizon, along comes Stieg Larsson with this wonderfully unique story. I was completely absorbed." Michael Connelly "I doubt you will read a better book this year." Val McDermid "Dark, labyrinthine, smart, sexy, utterly original, and completely captivating, Stieg Larsson'sThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoodelights at every level. Nuanced, sympathetic characters, caught in a tangle of unusual and compelling relationships, grapple with a baffling family mystery and with their own demons in the unique literary environment of modern-day Sweden. This book is artful and grand entertainment. I couldn't recommend it more highly." John Lescroart "So much more than a thriller,The Girl with the Dragon Tattoois a dazzling novel of big ideas. It tackles issues of power, corruption, justice, and innocenceall the while drawing you into the twists and turns of a frighteningly suspenseful mystery." Harlan Coben "As vivid as bloodstains on snow." Lee Child "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoois an utterly fresh political and journalistic thriller that is also intimate and moral. In spite of its dark unearthings Stieg Larsson has written a feast of a book, with central characters you will not forget." Michael Ondaatje "Cases rarely come much colder than the decades-old disappearance of teen heiress Harriet Vanger from her family's remote island retreat north of Stockholm, nor do fiction debuts hotter than this European bestseller . . . At once a strikingly original thriller and a vivisection of Sweden's dirty not-so-little secrets, this first of a trilogy introduces a provocatively odd couple." <i, "Wildly suspenseful . . . an intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing thriller." The Washington Post "I doubt you will read a better book this year." Val McDermid "Mesmerizing. . . .

  • The first 21st Century classic trilogy!

    What a great series & what a true misfortune for action/drama/thriller lovers everywhere that Stieg Larsson only finished 3 of his projected 10 volumes. He died shortly after submitting the first 3 for publication... but after the reader enters Larsson's world with this taut debut episode, it is easy to subscribe to the conspiracy theories that Scandinavian neo-Nazis, or mafia, or both assassinated him. The English translation in all 3 books is excellent. Unfamiliar with Sweden? Arm yourself with a modestly detailed map of the country and the pages from a travel guide dealing with pronunciation and currency conversion - you'll be so glad you did, you'll wonder why the publisher hasn't included this info as appendices. Do NOT read these out of order, as the sequels each reference their ...

  • This Tattooed Girl is Not to Be Missed. Excellent writer and story.

    It's rare for me to read a book after I've seen the movie, but this is one of those exceptions. I was drawn to the films and now books after reading several articles about the author who tragically died in 2004 at age 49 just after submitting his trilogy of books to be published. He didn't live to see the worldwide phenomenal success of his work that, in my opinion, is absolutely deserved. I fell in love with the two lead characters, researcher Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist: their intelligence, morality, courage and, in Lisbeth's case, her quirky, no-apology style of individualism. I also found it interesting to live alongside the main characters in Sweden, a country I know little about. The story is excellent with just enough intrigue, mystery and relationship ...

  • The Girl With The Dragon Tatto

    This book is a very good story about an adventurous girl who risks her life to reveal the wrongdoings of many ; especially people who were ivolved in her life that made her experience tortured . This is not just a good book to read , but great mental excercise that has you constantly stopping and reanalyzing the passages that you read . I would recommend this book to all for it's subject matter as well as a good goal for someone who wants to get back into reading . Sincerely , Gary K. Smith

  • THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

    I HAVE NOW RE-READ THIS BOOK, 1ST OF SERIES, 4 TIMES. EVERYTIME I DO SO I COME UP WITH A NEW THEORY ABOUT SALANDER, ABOUT STEIG LARSSON, ABOUT EVA GABRIELSSON (LARSSON'S LIFE PARTNER)AND AM AMAZED BY THE SWEDISH SOCITIES LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. THIS BOOK HAS NOT ONLY LED ME TO READ THE OTHER 2 INSTALLMENTS (MAYBE MORE???) BUT ALSO TO SEEK OUT OTHER SWEDISH AUTHORS AND BOOKS ABOUT SWEDEN'S HISTORY FROM THE 1800'S TO PRESENT. SALANDER AS A PERSON, WOMAN AND CHARACTER NOT ONLY TOUCHES A RAW NERVE IN ME BUT I CANNOT IMAGINE ANOTHER WOMAN CHARACTER WHICH SUCH A POSITIVE EFFECT ON ME IN MY LIFETIME. (NEVER SAY NEVER)

  • The Girll With the Dragon Tattoo

    Best friend discussed the author and his work. I totally agree it is a page turner and was truly hooked once I got the characters in place. I love how he told several stories at once and kept you updated with everything.Delightful and yet so insightful into the cruelty of life with insanity.So many excellent points to ponder as the characters make decisions. I loved how he brought in history and current events as well. I honesty kept the midnight oil burning more than once reading this book and have a list of friends waiting to borrow it. Thanks Ebay I got the book on the mystery Friday items. jansons09
