Finished: 7/7/10
Year: 2005
Pages: 644

Blurb (from back cover): "Harriet Vanger, scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families, disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, he 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 unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption."
Opinion: After a slow start, it picked up and was well worth it. I can see why so many people are reading it now.
