I originally marked this a four, then I let a few days pass and really think it's more of a three. I must be more of a mystery suspense and or mystery thriller girl. I didn't feel this was either. If any, it was suspense. 
 There was very little action, in comparison to what I was expecting. Also, I felt that Lisbeth's role was much smaller than the title makes it out to be. I do get frustrated with authors that don't really use a title to be representative of their work; that's what the title is for. I learned that the Swedish title of the book was "Men Who Hate Women." That title would have been more accurate when they translated it. So I don't blame Larsson for the translation but whoever translated it. 
 I also felt that the pace in the book was rather slow. I think this was because things were over-described, like how Larsson would keep telling us the temperature outside or would go in great detail the setup of the room. I think such descriptions would be essential if they played a larger role later, but they did not. I also felt that the ending was quite predictable and a tad disappointing. 
 The parts that I did enjoy was Lisabeth's character, when we did get to really see her, her revenge scene and any dialogue with her. 
 However, the American trailer for the adaptation of the book is done in a way that makes me want to see it and possibly give the second book a go because I heard that it focuses more on Lisabeth.
