Books by author: Stieg Larsson

For a bestselling thriller, this novel starts off very slow, and I had to read nearly half of it before it really got rolling. That said, it does eventually pick up steam, and Lisbeth Salander (the titular heroine) is a great character. I wish that the novel had focused more on her and less on Mikael Blomkvist.

I expected this to be better, and I doubt that I'll ever bother with the sequel.
