I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook, even though I've read this book for some years ago -- back when the entire trilogy was the IT crime books in Norway. Some years ago. Now I feel old. 
 Simon Vance was a convincingly good narrator of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He gave each character a flair, and I did enjoy his preformance. Although the voice portrayal of some of the characters gave me a completely different image than what I remember/had imagined them to be (I've been influenced by the movie adaptions; both the Swedish and the American Hollywood version). 
 The only drawback to Vance's brilliant preformance as the narrator is the same problem that I seem to encounter in the American Hollywood movie adaption of the book, which is the horrendous prouncations of the Swedish words. It simply gives me goose bumps.
