I have just finished reading “The girl with the dragon tattoo’ and it is a long time since I have enjoyed a book so much! This is brilliant writing and quite unique. Yet another outstanding Swedish author. The follow up is already at the top of next year’s birthday list

- Clive Read,

It is Hard, Having to wait til 2009 for the further stories of Salander and Bromkvist, And sad to know that there will only be two more,

- John Sjorup,

Fantastic books, I am reading the second one (french translation), and read all night as I can’t put book down. Scary and exciting thrillers….

- Francoise Battin,

I’ve just finished the 1rst book, it was awesome. I’ve never read such a well-plotted, funny, touching and scaring story. i love the main characters and i never get bored at a moment.

For the follow up, i’m sad to be in the UAE during 3 months, i cannot find the french version

- vivien,

Hello from Belgium.

The first book of the Millenium series (The Girl with the dragon tattoo) already has a cult status here amongst directors and writers and crime novel-readers. I also indulged in the wit, the elegance and the gunpowder efficiency of Stieg Larssons’s plot-twists and dialogue. The second part is out now in a Dutch translation, but I stopped after 5 pages: lost were the spirit, the mood and the calm and controlled chaos of the English flow, it just dus NOT work in Dutch as opposed to the English translation. I found out I’m not the only one. Many of my collegues refuse to read on in Dutch and just quit the book, waiting in vain for the English translation….. The ones who read the first book in English – most of the many people I know (even in France, Greece and the Netherlands) are waiting to read the second part in English. It really shouldn’t take so long as januari 2009. Even if you take market-build-up expectancies and the out-hunger-them-tactics for promotional and marketshare increasings (with eventually pre-sales-systems) : it just takes too long.

The books are written. They can be translated and adapted in an intelligent way just like the first one. It should reach audiences this summer: not januari 2009. This is absolutely an editor’s or distributor’s decision. Of course it could be very real that this is just another battle over author’s rights, publishing rights and a whole lot of money waiting on the shelves. Too bad all this doesn’t honor the superb work of Stieg Larsson. Footnote: the woman cast for Lisbeth is not Lisbeth. Not in a 1000 year’s: a gamble or a mistake? This actress does not embrace the heart and soul, let alone the DNA of Lisbeth Salander. Come on Yellow Bird: movies are about writing and casting, you should know that.

Sincerely, Peter Van Oostende, director

- Peter Van Oostende,

Seriously, what’s the problem here? Why are the English translations taking so long!? Amazon has the 2nd book as being released next year! Outrageous.

Fire the current publisher and get another in that will release this and the last book NOW.

Utter, utter incompetance.

And don’t get me started on the books titles…

- James, London,

Have finally worked out the point of learning languages. Off to order the German verson of volumes 2 and 3…

- Liz,

what an enthralling plot the first book is !! i can’t wait for the second issue. i ended up on this site looking for it, because my bookseller just told me it hadn’t been released yet : what a shame !! the french version has been released for at least a year.

so, come on M. English Editor : move it, for crying out loud !!!

- dbreidt, reims, france,,

Why have these brilliant 2nd and 3rd instalments not yet been published in English?? I bought ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ while in Germany a couple of months ago, (the English translation), and now back home in Australia I find that parts 2 & 3 of this fantastic series are set to be released in English in Jan ’09 and ’10 respectively?? What on earth are you waiting for??? MANY people are wondering!!! I could read them in a language other than my first language, but would rather read them in English. What about the millions of others who can’t??? COME ON GUYS!!!

- Amanda, Australia,

STIEG EVERYWHERE YOU ARE NOW: THANKS!

- Roberto Campagnolo,

Reading Tome II is like getting into Lisbeth’s mind, it’s amazing!I read it in less than 24 hours! I really love Stieg Larsson’s characters! I think there should be more Men as Mikael Blomkvist and more Justice as Lisbeth’s way to intend it.

- Lea Vittoria, Italy,

I can only agree with the above comment.

Having read volume 1 of the Trilogy I am having withdrawal symptoms waiting on volume 2 in English.

Maybe I should learn Swedish as I can probably do that quicker than waiting for the UK release date for volume 2

- John Turnbull,

Espectaculo!!

Acabei de ler o 1º OS homens que odeiam as mulheres.

Fiquei de imediato,com curiosidade de saber sobre os outros dois da triologia.

Parece que o próximo só para final deste ano:-(

Muito bom!

- Carllucci,

Marc, you are extremly right: it’s like a drug!

Unfortunately for the next “portion” (italian translation of tome III) i’ll have to wait until january 2009 (too long!! i think i’ll take the french or the german one!!)

- Paolo – Switzerland,

I stayed up all night and finished it, and am totally preoccupied about the subject. It is ridiculous that the 2nd and 3rd books are not yet translated into

English. My wife is Swedish and I could not speak to her while she finished all the books! Probably a good excuse for me to learn Swedish. She said that the English version was quite true to the Swedish.

- karnig-usa,

I would like to find out the book mentioned in the “Girl Who Played with Fire”: Dimensions in Mathemathics, Parnault, Harvard 1999.

Can you help me? paolo.napolione@gmail.com

- Paolo,

Just a the Tatoo in one sitting. Very tired now but that Lisbeth gets in your head. Am stunned to hear next book is not in English yet. Pull your finger out fellas. Have developed even worse coffee addiction no though!!

- Kylie,

Simply beautiful…!!!!

- lucia,

I could say that it is the best book i have ever read, but i could also say that about the first book. Amazing…

I have finished to read the book today. Only one word: fantastic!

- Alessandro Viggiani,

Thank god there’s a sequel! I finished the first book thirty seconds ago and I would have been crushed if it stopped there! Absolutely enveloping.

- adipy,

I can’t stand the long wait for the second in the series. It’s not fair that it won’t be available in English until 2009. The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo was incredible.

- Gretta,

were are the two others books

When are they going to be published in Portuguese or in English

I want to be with those two people Blommkvist and Salander

- Norberto in New York and Lisbon,

Some background info on the English translations: I finished all 3 in 2006, but due to the delays inherent in the publishing business, they are being released in 2008/09/10. Every publisher wants to have a book out on the market for a year to milk the most sales possible before releasing the next one. Cruel but true. Be aware that the UK versions are much different from the US versions, which I feel are closer to Larsson’s intent and language. But then the US versions are coming out 6 months later… Lisbeth is definitely the focus of books 2 & 3, and she does indeed rock!

- Reg Keeland,

I do absolutely agree with the other readers. I finished reading vol 1 yesterday and couldn’t refrain from going in search of the second. What a pity it’s not going to be available until 2009, in english.

I have to say that I loved the language !! Thanks for this beautiful translation!!

- nadia,

I just finished reading the first book in french… and I have to be honest the translation feels a bit off… maybe Swedish is hard to translate in french I don’t know… I So I’m thinking I should try reading the next ones in English but they do not seem to be available yet…maybe I’ll read them in french first…cause I really…really…really want to know what is gonna happen next… then re-read them in English

- L,

Just finished ‘Tattoo’ – what a read! Didn’t expect it to be anything like as page-turning, stomach-wrenching or mind-blowing. Cannot wait now to read the serquels.

- Hugh,

I have just finished the second book..I was very lucky and my friend found an English copy in the book shop at Stockholm Airport! She sent it to me express and I finished it..and I’m so upset..because it was so good, I don’t think I can wait 2 years for the next one!!!

- Tiffany,

I cannot put this book down! I am really hoping the “la reina en el palacio de las corrientes de aire” (the title of the third book in spanish) will be out there soon!! Can’t wait!

- spain,

I had just finished the first book, i can’t wait to get the second. Does anyone know where to buy the second book…

- yeoh, 24 December 2008

The best book on a long plane ride. Where’s the second book in English??? In the US or in the UK

- Anni Broughton,

I just finished the ‘Dragon Tattoo and Lisbeth has enthralled me. I was wondering where I would get the next book and came to this site immediately only to find all your comments of no English copies – I am devastated! The only consolation is it will surely be worth the wait.

- Pat Sorensen, South Africa,

Second book has already been release in Australia!

I’m about 1/4 way through it and it is great. Character development is strong and builds very well from the 1st book.

You will enjoy….

- Fabian T – Australia,

Just finished the the girl with the tattoo dragon wondering when the 2nd book is availble in New Zealand, couldn’t put the book down and. An excelletn read

- Kylee G – New Zealand,

In Italy the third book is out in a few days! why it takes so long in the UK?? i can’t wait until 2010!!!

- Alessandra F – London,

Best Christmas present ever, I thought I would have to wait until feb 2009 for the second book, “The girl who played with fire”, but there it was under my Christmas tree. Fabulous book that I have not put down. The character development of the girl Salander is great. How on earth can I wait for a whole year to find out what happens in the third book.

- Sandra A – Australia,

I’ve read volumes 1 and 2 of the trilogy. They are easily the best novels in this genre! I can’t wait to read volume three. What am I going to do for 12 months without Lisbeth Salander?

- Marek/Australia,

Reg,

You wrote “Be aware that the UK versions are much different from the US versions.” What are the major differences? I assume it more than spelling. It annoys me greatly when books are changed for the US audience.

- Mack Lundy/US,

While I would normally complain about the wait for the second novel, I’d gladly wait a year than to never read it! I am an English reader (U.S.) of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and I loved it! When the pace picked up in the middle of the book, it

n e v e r s l o w e d d o w n .

I will wait in agonized silence until “Plays with Fire” is released.

- Lucia / SF USA,

I just finished the audiobook of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I can’t wait for the next volume.

- Cal,

It’s not often that I cannot put a book down, however I think this is slightly better than the first and quite addictive.

I am not sure how I’ll go waiting another 12 months for the release in English of Castles in the Sky!

- Ian Rowell,

am looking forward to the book coming out in 2 days in england!!!!!!!

- ,

Just finished the second book here in Pennsylvania, and it was quite difficult to put it down. Definitely an alluring read. The ending was quite abrupt, which should certainly make me crazy until the third book comes out in English. Is Mr. Larsson for real or was this all a well planned marketing execution.

- Timothy Schwarz,

This was The best Christmas present ever!

Yummy characters, super plot.

I was hoping for a follow up book to be available for the best ever present for birthday in a few days.

- Susie de Gouveia, JHB SA,

OMG, I just finished the second novel and was in tears. The ending was not what I expected at all and i cannot wait for the third installment. I can’t believe I have to wait 12 months!!!!!!

- Sam Neill,

Just finished the second novel and about to start the third and last one of this trilogy. I’m reading them in French (all 3 books are available, lucky me!!!!). I can’t wait to find out what happens to Lisbeth…

- B. Beauchamp,

I’ve just finished “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and am devastated to learn that I can’t get all of three books in English so I can complete this trilogy.

On hols at Coffs Harbour and book 2 unavailable.

- Margaret Lewis,

Read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in Four Days. Read the girl who played with fire in three. Need I say more

- Alan,

The first book in the trilogy was excellent. I read it last summer (08) and could not put it down.

If the next book is as good as the first, then I won’t be disappointed.

Won’t be long before someone considers making these in to a film. I hope :o)

The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo was an amazing book, for this American reader. I couldn’t put it down and I look forward to reading number 2 and three as they come out. I enjoyed learning more about the strong Swedish journalistic tradition of freedom. Also, Larsson’s indictment of greedy financiers is eerily clairvoyant.

I want an english edition paperback of played with fire but apparently can’t get it in uk til july 09.don’t want hardback. don’t mind payi hardback price. any suggestions?

- finjimduc,

Stieg Larsson was an accomplished writer. I loved both of his books with Salander as his heroine. It’s scary if even a quarter of the things she does with computers can REALLY be done! Also, for me, I like the fact that he writes about people in ‘upper-class’ jobs- so many English thrillers these day concentrate on ‘lower-class’ criminals or terrorists. I can’t wait for the publication of the third.

Brilliant combination of Grisham (plot and pace) and Dickens (all those characters!! and prevasive corruption), going one better than both by keeping the tension and questions going until the very last line (literally). Wow!!

I dont think i quite understand mikhail blomkvist yet he is still a bit of a mystery to me let me just say that his motives are unclear to me.

- Zeke/Alaska,

i can not wait for this nook to come out in the us

- sheila coble,

One of the most enthrolling and rivetting and unable to put-it-down book, I have ever read. I read “the girl with the dragon tattoo” in one day and went to bed at 4.30am! Wow. Cannot wait to start the next book but will wait till I am on the plane to Melbourne!

- David Gold,

Just finished book one.

Simply Fabulous.

- sw – new york,

Just finished Larsson’s second and found it even better than the first. Salander is a compelling character, but the book is rich in other personalities, good and bad. Can’t wait for #3 (even rumours of a #4 hidden away), Thank goodness for air pockets and small calibres.

- Phil Branton, London,

can i read the trilogy out of sequence? i just read the first chapter of the second book and it’s great. i liked salander straight away. i’m pretty good at mixing and matching with thrillers but also understand that it might be necessary to read them in order. please let me know……..scarlett

- scarlett devon,

I’m not really a fan of the genre, but a friend really vouched for theese books so I decided to give the first one a go.

BANG!!! I was totally blown away read the entire triology in a week. What I ride! Theese three books took over my life for a week.

Masterpiece.

- Tomas, Sweden,

Just finished reading the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo,Stieg Larsson’s death is loss to every discriminating reader. I too am hooked by this amazing Author’s work.

- Vikki Martin ,Evanton,Scotland,

I waited a long time before buying the first book because the huge publicity campaign made me a little suspicious about it? Eventually, I bought the first book and as soon as I started the reading? BANG!… I was completely hooked and while I was finishing the first book, I bought the 2nd and 3rd book. Practically, I read almost 2,000 pages in a week. I really enjoyed the plot and characters and the action is always high during the whole Trilogy story. A masterpiece. Definitely.

- Stefano Cipriani, Rome,,

It’s going to be a long year!!! No chance you will release the next volume eary? Great book, am hooked on the story. Will re-read these many times .

What a place to end the second book!!!!!!

- L yn McBride,

My only fear after reading “The girl with the dragon tattoo” was the next in the series would not live up to the hype! Whoa..”The girl who player with fire” is even better! Absolutely compelling, edge of the seat stuff!.Must read..can’t wait for Book 3 to come to India!

- DP, India,

It’s so true i’m in the middle of this book right now and it’s one of the most amazing stories ever. Everybody should do themselves a favor and read this amazing series!!!

- ,

When will the second and third book come to Australia?

- Vanja Neus,

You know what?

There is a man waiting for the third story from S, korea. Hell know?

- Hyun. K. Kim,

I just finished the first tome: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and I am extremely impatient to get my hands on the second book in the trilogy – it is due to become available only on July 28, 2009 here in Canada…aaghhh! As another reader states: “This series is like a drug”…can’t get enough, fast enough!

- Linda Bérubé,

I just finished reading book II. I couldn’t put it down. Both the second and the first book are superb. I’ve read a lot of crime fiction and this is by far the best. It’s very sad that we can’t look forward to more books from Stieg Larsson. I started to despair when I saw all the comments on the website from desparate people who are waiting until the end of the year for book III to be published in English. There’s no way I can wait that long! I’m hooked now! Luckily I can read in a few languages. I straight away went online and ordered the book in Norwegian. Hopefully it wont take too long to reach me in Australia!

- Ida Rohne, Sydney,

I’m 100 pages away to end the 2nd volume; it’s a “must”, or else, I’m unable to do anything else today; but I dread to think how I’ll cope with the waiting for the third volume. I wonder if learning Swedish would be quicker than waiting till 2010 for the 3rd volume in English!!! ;O) UUUUFFFF!!!

- Begoña Tocino,

Am two-thirds through the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It’s so great I’ve rigged up a book rack so I can continue to read it on the treadmill. His previous work against bullies of another kind is easily felt in this novel. I’ll be in Canada this summer and will look for the second book. Otherwise, I’ll wait until it’s in the USA.

- Carol Popp,

I am in Montreal. Millenium I, II, III are all available here in French. But English version, only I is available. After I read I, can’t wait for the II. I ordered the book from Amazon UK, now I am almost finished it. Will start book III French version right after. Thank you so much for another reader who gave me this idea (order from Amazon UK). Believe it or not. Order from Amazon UK or CA, almost the same price here (including postage).

- TK, Montreal Canada,

Just finished “The girl who played with fire” could not put the book down all week. Went to find release date of the final instalment argh…. Jan 2010 will just have to read both books again before the third book is released I can handle that.

- Andy. Sydney, Australia,

The first was great, the second is the best -till now and – I am waiting for the third what causes an orgasm?!

- Lilla,

Have just finished the third book; just hope for more.. Simply love Lisbeth Salander, she is the best character ever… And the film; wow… I must own it…

- Joe, Denmark,

Having Read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I can honestly say it’s the first book in ages that I read cover to cover. Larsson’s writing is superb and I am hooked!

- Linda Padwick,

I’M GOING TO THE BOOKSHOP RIGHT NOW TO BUY THAT BOOK. I CANT WAIT TO START READING….

- Greg/Poland,

I agree. I have just finished the first book in the series and can’t wait to get the second. Took me a day and a half to read it! Great book!!!!!!!!!

- Silvia/italy,

Just finished The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo and it was gripping from beginning to end. A thriller that holds you to the last page. I need to buy the next installment now,

- David Stringer,

Absolutely addictive!!! Need no 3!!!!! getting withdrawal symptoms!!!!

- Karin Weavill Harrismith South Africa,

I just finished The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo and I’m looking for no 2 already!!Man I just could not put the book down it was really addictive!!!

- Angeline Biehl Cape Town South Africa,

Just finished the 1st book and cant wait to get to a book store to get the second book tomorrow! Loved the descriptions and characters.. a really great read.

- Lyn… Westmeath, Ireland,

I can’t put the book down – Superb writer.

- Aminata, Luanda-Angola,

I am waiting as patiently as possible for the sequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I agree the series is like a drug and I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms!!

- C Silva,

Damn! Just reached “The End” of Dragon Tattoo where Lisbeth tosses Elvis in the skip. The quality of writing is definitely responsible for some serious down-turn in my productivity in work and an involuntary trading of sleep for reading! Completely worth the sacrifice though and it is a shame that Mr Larsson is not around to read all these comments x

- Baroness von Coma, Melbourne,

Finished the last book of the Millennium trilogy in Mexico vacation… I was really sad that it was the last book. Best books I Have ever read.

I could end up reading 5 hours non stop… easily…

Happy reading!

- Norwegian in NYCity,

Finished “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” – 6/28/09. My eyes have gone bleary and twitching from marathon reading.

Wish it ain’t so– Larsson is DEAD.

Jocelyn, NYC

- ,

Never Mind. A little further research states the book is to be released on July 29th. I’ll be sure to be at the nearest book store on said date.

- Scott from Houston,

Dragon Tattoo is really a great book. Does anyone know when the 2nd installment hits US bookstores?

- Scott form Houston,

I can’t wait to read number 3 – dragon tatoo and played with fire are incredible books – please hurry to the UK

- Becky, London,

Hi.. This book is gripping… The first was too good and the sequel is equally competitive as the first one in terms of getting hooked to the book.. eagerly awaiting for the 3rd one. Also the books has seduced me into visiting sweden…

- Kesavan, India,

I loved the second book and I cannot wait for the third. I get profoundly sad when I think that there will be no more.

Nicci Carroll, 15 July 2009

Can’t wait to start reading the last book.

Superp writing.

- Østerø, Faroe Island,

Darn, I am ill, need to finish some work and couldn’t stop reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo until I finished it just now. And ordered The Girl who Played with Fire. Damn you, Stig Larsson, if I lose my job, it’s your fault!

- Felix,

I’m almost finished The Girl Who Played With Fire. Compulsive Reading – I need the third book – but I seen it’s not out till January 2010. What will I do till then? Already I have withdrawal symptoms!

- Susan McGrath, Tara, Co. Meath,

without doubt the best books i have read really looking forward to the third one,steig larson will be a legend.

- mike west cork ireland,

I have just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and was just so helplessly immersed in the story that I found myself becoming antisocial until I finished it. Now I feel somewhat lost and am looking for the sequel. Very addictive characters .. you will become hooked.

- Christine Irrgang Canada,

Yeah, I guess we’ll all experience withdrawal symptoms… I neeeeed a “Millennium”-hit NOW !

What are these rumors about a fourth book, by the way ? I’ve read somewhere that Larsson’s widow had access to another text which could become a novel, and that she also knows that her husband was working on two or three MORE books.

Don’t know how much of that is true, though.

…I don’t want anyone else than Stieg Larsson to write a “Millennium”-sequel. No way !

- Lili from France,

when does this book come out in paperback?

- Beth,

I need a second opinion…when Lisbeth (who ROCKS!) says to herself she’s in love…is it with Mimi or Mikael? I’m leaning towards Mikael…

- Kay, Maryland,

Something that bothers me about the nationwide search in Sweden for Lisbeth. Surely the housing agents through which she bought her new apartment would have remembered her? That bothered me a bit…It is like a loose fray that was not neatly tidied up.

- Ryan,

Just finished second book while on vacation…I miss all the characters…I’m in mourning! Can’t wait for the third installment.

- Mary,

FANTASTIC!!!!! Just about to fin Dragon, brought Fire yesterday bang gose my weekend, i need to no what happens next, Lisbeth very sexy, love to meet someone like her.

- Steve London,

Ryan, remember she wore her blond wig (don’t forget the cover photo of the blond hair) and she spoke with a Norwegian accent.

- Debbie from Virginia,

I just stayed up all night to read the second book. These stories are works of literary genius.

- Alex, New York.,

I have finshed 2nd yesterday (French Version). I read the 1st one in English version, I enjoyed more the first one than the second but maybe because the French translation is not as good as English one. I have already the rd book in fornt of my (Spanish version) and after few pages I am really convinced this will be the best. Unfortunately I can not find the books in my mother tongue: Catalan. Impressive serie. Thanks Mr Larsson I am sure you know the impacts your books are creating.

- Paco (Paris),

Its a really fantastic book. Lisbeth is a great caracter. i have just started reading the second part…and I cant stop. This book its like a volcanic eruption

, it comes and suprise you unexpectedly…

- Agnieszka,

I stood up Saturday and read from 9:00 in the morning to 4:30 at night the first part, the “Dragon tatoo”. In Hungary the second comes out this September, but no information on the third one….. I will have to buy the English version of the third. It really is addictive. And very, very good.

Why do publishers all over the world publish so differently the book? In some countries all three come out at the same time, in others you have to wait for years…. Why is this? Does anyone know?

- Trixi,

I don’t want to read the last fifteen pages – then it will be over! Kept me busy reading this weekend. How can we get the third book in English before January 2010?

- JC,

@ Lili… At his death, as well as the third completed novel, he left the unfinished manuscript of part of the fourth novel as well as synopses of the fifth and sixth in the series which was intended to contain an eventual total of ten books.

:(((( what an amaizing loss!

- lu,

do you have to read the girl with the dragon tattoo first?

- girl,

fantastic book!i loved it! i cant wait for the third!

- chris34,

Yes, read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo first. You will have a slight understanding of the girl Lisbeth Salander and her relationship with Bomkvist..

I’ve just finished both of the books in 3 days, addictive reading is an understatement. These are the best crime books i’ve read in years and the characters are incredible. The sooner I can get my hands on the 3rd book the happier I’ll be.

The book slimmed me 4,5 kiloes , love this book and

now I cannot wait to get finished here and to start the next . Please find some more !!!!! ??

- Stian JM Kristensen,

Just finished “The Girl Who Played With Fire”. Brilliant.

- Gareth Timms,

I concurr 100% with Marc. The Girl Who Played With Fire is every bit as good as the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. I can’t put it down and am losing sleep. Interesting characters, compelling story with multiple plot lines, excellent writing.

Just finished The girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Unbelievable story line. I picked t up because of all the great reviews and I’m glad I did.

I can’t wait to continue the journey!!

Grandes Livros, de leitura compulsiva, impróprios para quem trabalha de manhã, pois não se consegue parar de Lêr.

I’ve just started to read the 2nd book and im dying to find out what happens in this book.

I stayed up till 1.30 one night finishing off the 1st book its so thrilling and it makes you want to carry on reading. It’s a supereb book.

- Becky Cole,

Awesome, awesome book. gifted writer and am waiting, really impatiently, for the 3rd book.

- JK, US,

I just finished the first and here I am looking to see what else this accomplished author has written. Imagine my dismay to find he has died and there are only two more. I think I will buy them and read them slowly as it will be so sad to come to the end of number 3 and know there are no more coming.

- lori bernstein,

I agree. Have only read Book 1 but could hardly put it down! 2nd one not released here until 1 October, can’t wait!!

- JD,

I love these books. I’m almost at the end of The Girl who Played with Fire! They keep you guessing every step of the way… the sassy, mysterious Lisbeth Salander, she is such a intreguing charachter… you just don’t know whether she’s innocent or not!! I also love Blomkvist!! Cant wait for the 3rd book to be released in the UK!!

- Marie Lewis,

The Girl with the Dragon tattoo was great. I can’t wait to read the other two yet I’m dreading finishing the trilogy…

- Sharon Saw,

Just finished it and I gotta admit it was better than the first! I was grabbed at the first page!

This book is simply fantastic. The characters are amazingly well crafted. Stieg Larsson is a genious.

- H.L. Lewis,

There’s something I quite didn’t get a handle on in Book 1 and Book 2, so I hope someone can help me out. Was Salander sexually abused as a child/teenager?

- Gary,

I absolutely agree, Guillou – it’s so addictive! I had nothing to read, and my girlfriend and a friend of hers were both raving about vols 1 & 2, that I thought I had better see what all the “fuss” was about… my oh my – I’m skipping out on work, on sleeping, and as for cooking dinner on time – forget it. I’m 3/4 through vol 2 and can’t wait for Oct 1st here in the UK. Genius writing – I love it.

- Kevski,

I agree about how addictive these books are. I have been reading this series in French (to improve my French) after numerous co-workers raved about it and could not put them down until I was finished. I think that Tome II is even better than Tome I. Although she is far from perfect, I find Lisbeth Salander strangely admirable. I think that perhaps a lot of us dream about being able to fight back against those who harm us… I’m looking forward to seeing the movie that is based on Tome I.

- Karen E.,

the best books i have ever read. I was shocked that there will never be any more salander and bomkvist…when i was reading along about salander i kept saying she is so much like my grandaughter and i couldnt believeit that bomkist thought she had aspberger syndrume and now we know my granddaughter has it..there are a lot of children that have it but arnt diagnosed because it has different forms of autism. they have a lot problems in social sitiuations and talk out of turn and have little empathy with others. teachers just think they are spoiled and just dont pay attention….

- bj,

The millennium trilogy is so good! i am reading the series in english and i am reading the first book. i am comletely compelled by Lisbeth Salander’s character. she is amazing and very daring that is why i love her. i love how she has the ability to fight back. i am so excited about the second book!
