i had a difficult time getting into the book - it took me perhaps the first fifty pages - and then i was committed. an intense murder mystery that combines family saga, and love story - it really was a complex novel.
from the back:
Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of iniquity and corruption.
i'm hooked, and looking forward to the second book.
