    "Couldn't put it down"

    I often start reading a book and don't finish it because I get bored or lose interest, but I finished the entire millennium series in two weeks. I did, however, have a hard time listening to the first book because of the gruesome parts. If you get squeamish about blood and violence then pick up a print copy instead. I highly recommend it.

    "Not so sure what all the fuss is about"

    It's a fairly boring story about a strange family in an isolated place. There is nothing wrong with it other than my complete lack of identification with any of the characters.
    It was easy to finish and follow and it passed the time but there is nothing memorable in the story or the characters outside of the girl with the tattoo and she is memorable for her strangeness.

    "If you have never tried audiobooks...!"

    Not only is this an awesome series of mystery fiction, the narrator is incredible. Not every audiobook you get will be this good. You won't be able to take your iPod off until you are done with this series.

    "A gripping story"

    The story is gripping and has layers of mystery that first are added like an onion and then are peeled away as the book comes to a close. The narrator makes a decent fist of pronouncing Swedish places names and people. Once the initial cast of characters are in place, there are not too many names to remember.

    "outstanding read "

    This is the best crime thriller I've read in a long time. There's plenty of action and suspense and the mystery of the disappearing girl will keep you guessing. For me it has also the two ingredients for a great novel -- a story line that keeps you hooked right to the end even when the mystery is solved, and characters with real depth and complexity. Well worth your credit!

    "Love Simon Vance"

    Obviously, this book has received amazing reviews all over. But, what I'd like to point out is the reader of this audio version. He is wonderful. He does the voices and accents very convincingly. I recommend listening to this version even if you've already read the book.

    "Terrific book !!!"

    Captivating, riveting, completly addicting! I couldn't put it down, and am now listening to the second book. The third one comes out on audio today and I can't wait to download it.
    The characters are wonderful because they are quirky and unusual: unlike those in many books, they actually have distinctive personalities. Larsson builds suspense in a masterful way, and creates a plot that is solid and believable, and his style is fluid, readable, and intelligent.
