Forty years ago, young Harriet Vanger vanished without a trace from her mega-rich Swedish family’s private island—no corpse, no witnesses, no evidence. But every year, her uncle receives a clue: a single flower from an anonymous sender. Hard-nosed journalist Mikael Blomkvist is reeling from a libel suit when Harriet’s uncle hires him to track her down. Riding shotgun on the investigation is 24-year-old super-hacker Lisbeth Salander, a pierced, tattooed and terrifyingly ruthless genius. Together they’ll unearth horrifying corruption among the nation’s elite—and a shocking connection between themselves.... A runaway European bestseller, Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a rip-roaring, dazzlingly smart crime thriller.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a Stephen King fan and he had it on his list of his 10 favorite books. It was a book that I just could not put down until I had finished it.

I've been a mystery reader for many years and it was a delight to find a new writer in this genre. One whose characters are complex and neither all good or all bad. One whose solution isn't obvious or stale. A wonderful book, different, yes. A little slow to get going, yes. But once the story grips you, it doesn't let you go. Mikael and Lisbeth are fascinating characters and a perfect match to solve the 40 year old crime of Harriet Vanger. Highly recommended.

Book was good. Was it great? I'm not sure. A little slow to get going, and a little too long. However, overall, the characters were interesting, and the book was a little different from the typical best sellers.
