Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Mikael Blomkvist, a respected reporter, is convicted of libel. He hasn't done much to defend himself. Shortly after his conviction Mikael is offered a peculiar assignment by Henrik Vanger, a wealthy, retired industrialist. Henrik wants Mikael to write the biography of the Vanger family, but mainly as a pretext to have a thorough look at a crime which happened more than thirty years ago; the murder of Harriet Vanger.
The three Stieg Larsson books have gained tremendous popularity. This first book in the series is good, but to be honest, that's it. I have no idea what should be so extraordinary about it.
