Super intense and a definite page-turner! I so enjoyed this book, I wish I could give it 4.5 half stars. The only thing that kept it from 5 stars for me is the pacing got a bit slow, and the information came out in small teases. Still, Lisbeth Salander is a fascinating character, and I got to know her much better in this book. The characters are all well done, and the underlying social commentary is food for thought. I will be watching the first two movies very soon, and have already started the third book.
