Cassi (USA: CA) (2011/01/27): This is a well-written book, but you should know it's VERY intense and disturbing. There is an element of sadism in the book that would make me wary about who to recommend it to. I have Larsson's second book, but haven't been able to start it yet because I'm a little hesitant about putting myself through the stress. Still, very good mystery-thriller and a good story-teller. But, not one to read right before bed.
