Plot summary
Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomqvist is hired by Henrik Vanger to investigate the disappearance of Vanger’s great-niece Harriet. Henrik suspects that someone in his family, the powerful Vanger clan, murdered Harriet over forty years ago.
Starting his investigation, Mikael realizes that Harriet’s disappearance is not a single event, but rather linked to series of gruesome murders in the past. He now crosses paths with Lisbeth Salander, a young computer hacker, an asocial punk and most importantly, a young woman driven by her vindictiveness.
Together they form an unlikely couple as they dive deeper into the violent past of the secretive Vanger family.

its an unputdownable action packed book.The characters have been created in a very fascinating manner, lucid in description and easy to imagine... i particularly was fascinated by the cahracter of Lisbeth Salander, intrigued by her persona eagerly awaiting the movie..!!

I couldn't stop reading until I had read all three books. Lisbeth is an exciting heroine who is tech smart and street savvy.

Can't figure what all the fuss is about, really. Pretty routine and cliche detective story stuff here. Maybe the character of Lisbeth is what intrigues people? I actually put it down after Mikael and Martin have their run in. I did not care who "done it" nor did I care about the characters, all of whom were right out of central casting.

"Right out of Central casting" now that's a phrase from a journalist, you may well have put it down but only after you had read well over 400 pages.
A great read and I will be off to get the next one shortly.
Can't wait for the Hollywood movie with DC as Blomqvist.

Rachel.. I forced myself to page 187 and gave up...mostly I suffered from a "who cares' attitude.. a friend made it to page 50 before she ditched it.....another friend never started..."who needs the violence?". But..every where I go people are raving about the 3 books. My sisiter- in- law reported that people all around her in Croatia were hooked.
why! why! why!

Could somebody please let me know what the term "Kalle Blomkvist" actually refers to.....I know that it has something to do with childrens books. Thankyou
- Kerryn, 15 August 2010
Kalle Blomkvist is a character in a series of three books for children written by Astrid Lindgren. She is a very famous writer, has written many books for children translated into many languages. Everybody in Sweden is familiar with here books and characters. Maybe you have read Pippi Longstocking?
Kalle Blomkvist is a teenage amateur detective solving mysteries.
