I've just finished reading the 2nd book in the Millenium Triology, The Girl Who Played With Fire, and have pre-ordered the 3rd. Can't wait to read it!!! Has anyone else read them and what did you think?

I'm reading the third one now. I love them. The story is very absorbing. Lots of surprises and action. Salander is the strangest heroine i've come across! I'm trying to make the book last a few weeks but once I start reading it I cant stop!

Amazon kept recommending that I purchase 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' but I just felt that Crime thriller wasn't me.
I eventually gave in and purchased the book, and I am so glad I did. What a superb book! It was extremely compelling. I found myself reading faster than I normally would just because the pace of the book seemed so fast! I don't think I've ever read a more action packed book, and just when you think the mystery is solved - off it goes again on a sub-mission.
I'm so glad it is part of a trilogy because I really want to read more of Larsson's work. I'll have to plan when I shall read 'The Girl who played with fire' because I've had so little sleep over the past week reading this one, the plot continually egging me on to read a few more pages, ah go on, another few, that I need to ensure that it is a Bank Holiday Weekend or something, and be prepared to submit myself to another compelling read!

I treated myself to the 3 books for Xmas and read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo while snowed in. What a fantastic original book ... I really loved it and could not wait to get going on The Girl Who Played with Fire. I am approaching the end of it and I'm really reluctant to finish it. It's a long time since I came across such original and enthralling characters and the story just moves with such speed and is so intense. The only downside is the difficulty keeping a grip on so many characters and especially the unfamiliar Swedish names and the geography of Sweden which I certainly am not familiar with. I highly recommend both books so far and I am looking forward to the third one. A definite 10/10 for me.

Just finished 'The Girl Who played with Fire' and loved it as much as the first book. Found it much easier to get into the story than the first one as the characters were familiar and there wasn't as much 'business jargon' to come to terms with. Looking forward to reading the third book over Easter.
