Stieg Larsson

I have a brother-in-law who really enjoys reading anything in Swedish that he can get his hands on. I would like very much to purchase the three Larsson books in the trilogy as a gift for him. I see below that "Kirsten" says she read all three in the original Swedish. Can anyone point me to a site where I could purchase these books in the original Swedish? If so, many, many thanks. PS I just finished listening to Girl With the Dragon Tattoo on audiobook and it kept me up far into the night many nights because I simply could not turn the player off. Thanks.

I read all three books and enjoyed all of them alike.I regret that the actors that were chosen for the film do not look like I had imagened the characters at all. I won't go to see the film.

- baba, 30 June 2009

Im reading last book. Good serie, but why is all action on last 20 pages? :D

- Saara92, 28 June 2009

Great series of books. Lisbeth Salander becomes a star and while in real life perhaps one would shun her, the books open one up to realize that there is more to people, than meets the eye. She/Lisbeth is a very powerful person, and one that you can relate to, even as an elder white male. She likely personafies what one self would loved to have done and been. Fight the system, as the system is dumming and controlling of people and contrary to all progress. Yes there needs to be laws, still as few as possible, to ensure the person grows and takes responsibility of one's self, and grow. Government and the society cannot and should not ensure people don't fail, and should encourage only growth. Love these books, and hope indeed the family problems don't make the 4th book be missed, please!

- Poul Gottlieb Jacobsen, 25 June 2009

I read all three books and I think that they are really the best that i have never read, beautiful!!!

I Just Finished the girl who played with fire im not a mystery reader by nature ,I couldnt put either book down.....Now Im waiting for the third in english,Cant wait!!!Lynne U.S.A

- lynne June 25th, 25 June 2009

I just finished reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" because I wanted to know what the fuzz was all about. I got to say that I was absorbed by the book from the get go, however by the last few chapters I began to feel disappointed by the way the story unraveled. As I finished reading the last page I couldn?t help feeling manipulated by cheap writing tricks. I won't be reading his other two books, I won?t be part of the millennium mass consumption. It was a good thing that I read the book at the bookshop in the US where I didn?t have to purchase it.

- Reb/Madrid, Spain, 25 June 2009

Please say if ther s a 4th book!!!!!

- JmSusierra, 24 June 2009

I've read the first and second books and I've just started the third one...I was looking forward to having it and finally here it is!...I fell in love with the first book almost at the first page and I could not put it away a moment...same for the second one and I'm starting to feel the same about the last one (sadly)...Stieg is one of the greatest writers I've ever read and it is a shame he died so much young and without knowing what amount of people love their books...

I saw the film too and taken into account how difficult is to translate a book to a film, I ended up quite happy with the result...

- Teresa/Madrid/Spain, 24 June 2009

Exquisite books, a violent disillusioned and intriguing plot that reveals the real problems of our society, communicated through a fresh direct and at times harsh journalistic style

- Ludo Crisanti/ Italy, 19 June 2009

I could not stop reading!!! That is really all you have to say about all 3 millenium-books. Exciting and Intriguing Story in exactly the right kind of writing and when you are done reading, you would feel empty and really want more!!

So please give us more stuff about Lisbeth & Co. I love it!!!

- Katharina/Germany, 19 June 2009

Larsson's passion for his cause shows in his compelling writing. Way to go Salander...This woman kicks ass. I'm at work now and didn't get to sleep at all last night. Just had to finish reading about her exploits in The Girl Who Played With Fire.

- Bea/Philippines, 18 June 2009

Only 2 days !!!! 18 June 2009: 500,000 volumes of "Millenium 3. Luftslottet som sprängdes" in Catalan and Spanish translation on sale! We are waiting for "La reina..."

- Francisco - Catalonia - Spain, 16 June 2009

Thanks Luthien I'd heard contradictory versions of the translations into Catalan and I was not sure of that to do...

Gràcies Luthien havia sentit versions contradictòries de les traduccions al català i no estava segura de que fer...

- Catalonia / Catalunya, 16 June 2009

Who will star as Salandar in the movie I wonder...

- , 16 June 2009

I'm finishing the second one, and I've read both in Catalan. I enjoyed it a lot!

Estic acabant el segon, i els he llegit tots dos en català. M'han agradat molt!

Estoy acabando el segundo, y los he leído ambos en catalán. ¡Me han gustado mucho!

- Luthien, 15 June 2009

I have not read any of the three books yet, I am waiting for the third to come out to read all in a row.

What I do not know is if to take them in Catalan or in Spanish some recommendation? (even though I am capable of taking them in both languages...)

_____

Encara no m'he llegit cap dels tres llibres, estic esperant a que surti el tercer per llegir-los tots seguits.

El que no sé és si agafar-los en català o en castellà alguna recomanació? (tot i que sóc capaç d'agafar-los en els dos idiomes...)

Todavía no me he leído ninguno de los tres libros, estoy esperando a que salga el tercero para leerlos seguidos.

¿Lo que no sé es si cogerlos en catalán o en castellano alguna recomendación? (aunque soy capaz de cogerlos en los dos idiomas...)

- Catalonia / Catalunya, 15 June 2009

Steig Larsson became my favourite author after the first book I read written by him. No loose ends and he kept all the characters busy. None of his characters were there to fill in a gap. Even though he used a lot of characters they remained consistent in personality and style. It is a great pity Steig passed on before his time as we have lost a truly entertaining writer.

- C.Isherwood-Guy, 13 June 2009

I have just read "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"in Polish.

Fantastic Novel !

Mr. Larsson was a Great Writter!!!

- Greg/Poland, 13 June 2009

I have read all 3 books(in Italiano)..wanderful..predivne

- diana.croazia, 10 June 2009

I just finished "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", read almost in one sitting! I have to find the next one now, and cannot believe there will not be a fourth in the series.

- Kate Mortimer, 10 June 2009

I have read all 3 books (in Swedish).. just love them.. it is really sad that there we will not have a 4th or a 5th one.. Looking forward to see the movie.. will do that this summer when I am in Sweden

- Kerstin, Chatham, NJ, 9 June 2009

I read the first volume in English and the last two in French. The French translation is soooooo.... much better.

Anne. Canada

- , 9 June 2009

wonderful, athmospheric, great characterisation, a rattlin' good tale, all round great stuff

- Mick / Ireland, 8 June 2009

I'm so happy to found these books. I finished them yesterday... actually I'm spechless. So sad, no one could tell Mr. Larsson about his great work.

Thank you Mr. Larsson!

- Nicole / Germany, 8 June 2009

I love Lisbeth. I want to know her.

- Eloi Delgado, Galicia, 7 June 2009

Great Books! When is the 3rd being released in English? When are the movies coming to the US?

- In search of Book 3, 7 June 2009

Well probably is mor a phantasy novel than a detective story. Unfortunately girls like Lisbeth don't exist...

- Weak Girl, 6 June 2009

I loved the two novels I read.

Waiting for the third.

comment here!

- Rahul new Delhi, 6 June 2009

I finished the 1st. It's nice and fantastic

- Hicham Mechmachi, 5 June 2009

I read the three of them ...and they are simply kind of masterpieces of modern literature (noir and non)! I also liked very much the movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"! Swedish people know how not to destroy a novel.

- Dario - Italy - 5 June 2009, 5 June 2009

I finished the 2nd today. It's fantastic.

Extraordinary!!!!

The best!!!!

I can't waiting for the next one.

- Jacqueline - Brazil - 4 June 2009, 4 June 2009

I reckon the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is about Karl Bild and Mona Sahlin!

- , 4 June 2009

What a loss to our literary world!! Gripping, with a great plot that keeps the pages turning. Exceptionally well written and translated.

- the wytche, 3 June 2009

While reading Larsson´s books it is like looking behind the courtain of your own present life and you start thinking...

Thank you, Stieg, where ever you are!

- Ann-Marie, 2 June 2009

second book even better than the first, can't wait for the translation of the third one!

- CSB Australia, 2 June 2009

Nice books... a bit like Henry Potter saga, where Lisbeth plays the role of the little wizard.

Also this extraordinary success is quite a mistery in my opinion!

- AmM, 31 May 2009

- Gardunya, 31 May 2009

I just read the second book and I became obscessed with the story. I'll have to wait the third book... Thank's Mr Larsson

- Thais /Brazil May 30, 30 May 2009

I don`t know what to say... details, action... and Sally. All about Stieg. You read and you cannot do anything. If you have something to do don`t take the Larsson`s books... if you take you will forget about other things.

- greg/Poland, 29 May 2009

I loved to read the books and i'm sad that the 3rd one is not available in my country yet. I hope it will come out soon, i go to the book shop every two weeks to check if it's available. It's an addictied reading

- Sandra, Portugal, 29 May 2009

Hi! I'm reading the 2nd book and I'm loving it. I see that the attention is now on lisbeth sandaler, but it wasn't like that on the 1st book, don't you agree?

- Malena, Uruguay., 26 May 2009

Brilliant writting.... very addictive.... can't wait to get my hands on the 3rd book ..... come out quick!!!

- , 26 May 2009

i´ve just read the first of the three books but i´m absolutely amazed!!was really fascinating and i couldn´t put it away..tomorrow,i´ll beginn reading the next one and i´m really looking forward to learning more about these incredible ingenious characters,especially lisbeth who is one of the most captivating persons i´ve read about for a long time!

suggest reading this book!

- l, 22 May 2009

I couldn't leave the first two books. I wish I knew Swedish or German to be able to read the third one now. The movie and 4th book would be ....extremely amazing, can?t wait. It is such a loss that Stieg is not among us all, to continue the saga of Lisbeth! I will miss her character.

- Dafina, Macedonia, 22 May 2009

I really regret Stieg Larson's death because he is a very good writer and and his style, in my opinion, cannot be compared to anybody: I read many thriller books (by DanBrown, John Grishman, Ken Follet..) but I have mostly admired his writing. He was really great!! I hope all his books will become movies and I am eager to see the first one..waiting for the next ones...His political and social engagement is evident and deserves really my deep esteem and admiration!! And his favour to female characters!! In one word: his writing is wonderful!! Hello and my compliments to his present family and relatives!Hope to have some news about his fourth book and that any dispute regarding his heredity will be solved because he would have been certainly more happy in this case!!

- Marina Zavi Italy, 22 May 2009, 22 May 2009

Just finnish all 3 books and they are absolute amazing!

Makes me sad that its over, but i hope they will finish the half written book 4.

- T.K Norway, 20 May 2009

Just finished the book. It is one of the best (If not the best) written crime novel I´ve read. Both of the main characters, grabed your attention and it´s impossible not to like them and want to keep following their lives stories.

I agree with Mitzy, it´s shocking that his partner doesn´t get the money from the book. Shows clearly the unfairness of the swedish laws. (I am guessing they had a common law marriage).

Anyway, I think everyone should read this one. It´s complicated, thrilling, beatiful, ugly and not possible to put it down once you start reading.

Thank you so much Stieg Larsson

- Vega,Iceland, 19 May 2009

Stieg Larssons ' way of writing is mesmerizing. He doesn't miss a detail, keeps you reading on and on because of his different storylines. He's absolutely great in his genre. I only am very schocked that his partner in life for more than 30 years doesn't get a penny from it8 Especially when you see what his books are about: against any form of discrimination, womens fragile position in a mans world, a persons struggle against administrators. I hope his brother and father finally really listen to his words and divide the heritage at leastin two.

- Mitzy, Belgium, 17 May 2009

By far the best modern crime writer - what a tragic loss- all my condolences to his family and friends. Living in England the books give me an insight into Swedish life and attitudes as well as being fantastic stories. I do not think a movie could him justice-it would need a director of real stature-if he was still alive Kubrick would have been ideal.

- Mike Tunnicliffe, 16 May 2009

i've read two of the three books of the trilogy and i'm waiting eagerly the movie!

- claudia, italia, 15 May 2009

"Girls With Dragon Tattoo" grabbed me with the first chapter and wouldn't let go till I finished it. A wonderful experience! Perhaps my appreciation was heightened because last summer I visited Norway and Lapland and could visualize some of the background.

- tom wittenberg, athens, georgia, usa, 12 May 2009

I thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and am eagerly awaitng the arrival of "The Girl who Played with Fire" in my neck of the woods. Lisbeth is such an interesting character that I feel I need to get to know her better.

Many thanks to Daryl for recommending the book!

- Ruth Shemesh, Israel, 12 May 2009

Love The Girl With Th Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire! Cant wait for the third book in the Trilogy

Great reads - love the surprise twists. Thanks Steig!

- Julie Arentz, 9 May 2009

I am absolutely addicted to his books. What a wonderful writer!!!!! I read and read and time goes by without even realising. I love every minute of them. The third one has not appeared yet in Spain. Can't wait to see the movies!!!

- , 9 May 2009

For any regular reader, probably the most common answer to the question "and which is your favourite book ever read"...the answer is simple. "there are more the one..." well, i think that for those that read Stieg's saga, the answer will not be that vague any more...thanks Stieg!

- Lucas Meneses, Lima Perú 29 May 2009, 4 May 2009

Thanks so much for Mr.Larsson - best reading ever !!!

- Marcus Vinícius, 3 May 2009

- Gunnar G Gunnarsson, 29 April 2009

THANKS STIEG

- José Manuel, 28 April 2009

Loved the first 2 books, totally hooked.... however for someone who wrote so convincingly about how people could lose their rights I find it odd that he didnt make provision for his nearest & dearest

- Syah, 28 April 2009

Ive read the first two books, thank you SL for the best read of 2009......& 2008, 07, 06, 05 or whenever Wally Lamb wrote "I know this much is true". Harlan Coben is cool too.

- NÚRIA, 26 April 2009

Am I the only person to find the translation clunky, outdated and stiff? Its a testament to Steig Larsson's writing that despite this, the narrative still draws you in...

- Mary, 26 April 2009

Never read Stieg Larsson's books. Happened to be

in a bookshop and bought "The girl who played with fire" Can't put the book down. It's a pity that I started reading the second book. Good plot and well

written. Pity he won't be able to write any other books. Yet I am sure that he will continue to be popular worldwide.

- Bookworm Bologna Italy 25/04/09, 25 April 2009

get hooked with the books..can't wait for the third one to come out!!

- hussain yaakub, 22 April 2009

MUST READ...... ALL 3 BOOKS. SO WELL WRITTEN, PROUD TO BE SCANDINAVIAN.....

- ANJA HOLLAND, 21 April 2009

Ive never been one to read crime novels.... but what an introduction!! Fast paced, not able to put both books down!!! feeling very empty knowing that I'll have to wait for the next stage in Salander's life. Bring on the third novel to South Africa

- Yasmin, South Africa, 21 April 2009

I couldn't put down both of the books. Read it through in record time, even though I am an Afrikaans girl.

- Elaine Bodenstein, 19 April 2009

These books are addictive, your life will cease to be where you are at - it will be entwined with Salander and she will dance in your thoughts both day and night.

- Lysia . Sydney Australia, 19 April 2009

I started reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" yesterday - up to Page 148 - am hooked! What a great writioer! This made the bookshops late last year in NZ - will be watching for the others!

- Robyn (NZ), 19 April 2009

one of the best books i have ever read..............i feel so sad we will never get a follow up series!

- notorious niki, 15 April 2009

Ich habe vor wenigen Tagen das Buch "Verdammnis" ausgelesen.

Bis zur letzten Silbe hatte ich ein unglaublich spannendes Buch vor mir. Die Handlungen sind durchweg realistisch gemacht. Einfach nur grandios!!! Teilweise musste ich den Atem vor lauter Spannung anhalten!

Und weil ich so begeistert von diesem Buch war, habe ich mir direkt die anderen beiden Bücher "Verblendung und Vergebung" gekauft!

Ich bin von Stieg Larsson mehr als begeistert! Ein begnadeter Krimi-Schriftsteller, der seinen Erfolg leider nicht mehr erleben durfte. R.I.P.

- Gesine Landwehr, 15 April 2009

So many novels in this genre disappoint because they rely on plot and action to make up for poor writing, but not The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Brilliantly plotted and beautifully written, with a real feeling for place and character, it was one of those rare novels that live with you for a long time after reading.

Larsson makes his political and social points subtlely too, where so many other authors get on the soapbox.

And to think I picked it up in a bookshop on impulse...what a miss it would have been if I'd passed it by.

- Banksy, Yorkshire, 14 April 2009

Truly amazing books, the best I have ever read! Lisbeth is now my rolemodel in so many ways! It is so rare to find books that captivate me like this, and then I find a trilogy of books! I am deeply saddened that Stieg Larsson did not get to experience the amazing response on his books, and I am sorry that there are disagreements between the heirs. I am sure he would not have wanted that.

- Elin, Oslo/Dubai, 14 April 2009

I have just finished reading the girl with the dragon tattoo and i just couldn't put it down - It's the best book i've read in years. I did no office or house work and just about cooked dinner before my husband came home !!

- Marion McCarthy, 14 April 2009

I dont like crime novels, but i LOVED The girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I finished the book some days ago, but have lived with Salander in my mind eversince. Shame that Larsson is not around anymore...

- Suela, Albania, 14 April 2009

I read the first two books in no time at all, though I tried to make the last pages last a bit longer! I couldn't stand to leave Kalle and Lisbeth, knowing the third book is so long ahead!

I've always been an avid reader, but the Larsson experience is something new. As a middle-aged working mother and wife, apparently I'm not supposed to plunge into a book and become oblivious of my surroundings, that's for teens! But my family knows better!

- Graciela, Rosario, Argentina, 14 April 2009

A man I did not, and never would have had, the pleasure to meet. I hope however that in life he was as richly appreciated as I now appreciate his work in death. A great loss.

- Adrian, 13 April 2009

I´ve just finished The Girl who played with fire, and I have to say that if I liked the first one a lot, this second one is just Great! I can´t wait for the third, but I think till November or so it won´t be in Spain. The plot is superb and the character of Lisbeth Salander fascinating. Thanks Stieg!

- B. Cadavid,Santiago, Spain, 13 April 2009

Ill begin with apologizing for my poor english.

I'm only a 18 year old swede, but I've inherited an avid passion for crime novels from my mother.

Reading these three books has been a great experience for several reasons. Primarily because of how superb the books were but also because of the environment in which the plot takes place.

I was born at Södermalm, Stockholm and have lived there ever since, so reading about all the places they visited was very fun.

But the thing that caught me off-guard was the fact how the first book begins, with Blomkvist sailing through the Guest harbor (?) of Arholma, and later *SPOILER* when it's revealed that he owns a small shed in Sandhamn. I work att ferrys trafficking the Stockholm archipelago during summers, I visit Arholma almost everyday during summer and has walked past his shed several times so it was entertaining and surprising to read about in his books :)

So if you ever travel to Stockholm remember to go down to the quay and I'll take you to places described in the books, you don't want to miss the Stockholm archipelago!

- Nils Erik Rönn, Stockholm, 9 April 2009

A superb thriller, gripping from the first page. Very hard to put down. One of the truly great thriller writers who went befroe his time.

- Chris Edwards. Warwick England, 8 April 2009

I just finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a few minutes ago, and thought it was outstanding.

In fact, I just had to order the next book in the series off Amazon UK, due to the fact that it is not out here in the US till July, and I don't want to wait!

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. I'm quite sorry to hear that Larsson is no longer alive and writing.

- Kyle, 8 April 2009

Have just read the first book. Amazing page-turner! I'm so sad there are only three books when he had planned for eleven. Can't wait to read the other two!

- Malin Noremark, 6 April 2009

Finished first book very addictive! couldn't put it down, passing it on to my sister and off to buy The girl who played with fire tomorrow can't wait.

Dragon Tatoo was the best suspense novel I have ever read...and I have read hundreds. I was so stunned to learn that Larsson is gone. Does anyone know if any of his other works were translated into English?

- Laurie B, California, 1 April 2009

Just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a few minutes ago. A great read! Best book I have read in years. The characters are engrossing; the sequence of events weaves in and out of several levels, all of which are very entertaining. I will now try to find The Girl Who Played with Fire.

- R.St.George, 31 Mars 2009

As a die-hard and dedicated Michael Connelly-fanm I have fallen in love with his character Harry Bosch over the years. Never thought any writer nor character could do the same to me. Until I met Lisbeth and Michael "Kalle" Blomkvist! I read the first book within 24 hours. Absolutely fabulous. Magnifique! What a shame Stieg Larsson is no longer able to entertain me with new books in the years to come. What a writer, knowledgable and never arrogant he paints the portrait of his characters so well, that I feel I know them all.

Thank you Stieg.

Inge Toonen - San Diego/Eindhoven

- Inge Toonen, 27 Mars 2009

Absolutely brilliant - I've just finished book 1 in 24 hours and could not put it down. Stieg's writing was like a technicolour movie in my head. The best book I've read in years.

- Helen, Australia, 26 Mars 2009

Great books. I am curious about the film they made from the first book.

- rene, 25 Mars 2009

I just finished the first book. I hope i can find he second and third in Argentina, otherwise i should ask someone who travels to get them for me.

- , 24 Mars 2009

First, sorry about my awful English. Second, I'm sorry that the stupidest comment on this site comes from my country - Corina, try to think, you'll feel much better after! Third, I really read policiers - I mean it's a passion - and the Millenium trilogy is absolutely exceptional. Of course, is difficult to say that is the best, but if we put the conflict in his real social place, an if we analyze the fresque of characters and places, and the originality of conflicts, I think we can apreciate this 3 books as a future pattern of the european theriller. Fourth - very important I think: we now can see a @fight for justice@ in a non-english and non-american world, and thet makes me feel very, very well.

- Alexandru, Bucharest, Romania, 24 Mars 2009

Well, I'm a little amused about some of the comments e.g. the person from Hungary worried about the Swedish women:) Stieg L. was a great guy who defended the weak in society. And of course, relatively speaking there are more women victims to domestic violence that men. But the situation of women in Sweden is thousand times better than let's say Austria or any other non - Scandinavian country. It is a Swedish way to exaggerate and anticipate the evil. That explains the fcition of St. Larsson.

- Stockholm_Cicero, 23 Mars 2009

Hm, sitting here in english class, and my teacher just came to tell me that I really have to read this books, so I guess.. My english teachers never wrong..

- Maarten, 23 Mars 2009

Goodbye Lisbeth, Goodbye michael.

We will miss you..........

- pattypatty, 22 Mars 2009

I think that the first book was very good, the second was better. But the third book is definitely the best. Towards the end it was so thrilling that it almost made me feel physically ill. Haven´t happened since I read the dog of Baskervillle (Sherlock Holmes). But that was almost 40 years ago when I was 8 years or so.

- Janne, 19 Mars 2009

I'm reading the seconf book now and I really like it. I'm quite hooked up and I enjoy every page of it.

It is very unfortunate that such an honourable, talented, and hard working person died so young.

- Martí / Girona / Catalunya, 19 Mars 2009

Thank you, Stieg!

a bit worried about the women in sweeden!

i never thought that its such a violent country! a bit sick somethimes but can not put it down! no way to travel to sweeden without a gas spray! :-)

- Monika, Hungary, 18 Mars 2009

I think that the three novels in Millennium series are the best I have read in years. I agree with Magnus; Stieg Larsson was against racism.

- Caterina, Italy, 15 Mars 2009

RIP, Stieg. And than thank you.

- 9277, 15 Mars 2009

just read "The girl with the dragon tattoo". i read it in all just two days. i cant believe how awesome it was. i couldnt put it down. i will be buying the next in the series tomorrow.

- daniel skermer, 15 Mars 2009

Great book!!! Thank you for that! Stay in peace.

Does anyone know when the second part in Poland is published?

- Karolina, Poland, 14 Mars 2009

Thank you, Stieg.

- Fulvio, 14 Mars 2009

I was just hooked, I read the two first books in five days and now I'm looking forward to reading the third one but it's not on sale in Spain. I tried to get it in English but I'm afraid it's not yet available.

- feli bilbao, 13 Mars 2009

Lisbeth Salander is my HERO. I have read both books and found that I was completely under Mr. Larsson's spell. We will miss you dearly Mr. Larsson, and wherever you may be, rest in peace. You leave many admirers behind.

- Marisa, Madrid - Spain, 13 Mars 2009

Lisbeth Salander has become my hero, she is out of this world. I have read the first two books and must say that after "World without end" they are my absolute favourite. I couldn't seem to put them down and became completely hooked. We are going to miss you very much Mr. Larsson.

- Marisa, Madrid - Spain, 13 Mars 2009

I agree with Magnus; Corina, you completely missed the irony of that passage. Definitely not a reason to put down one of the best thrillers I have read in years. Nothing better than seeing justice served!

- Sarah, Toronto, 12 Mars 2009

After "Los pilares de la tierra", it´s the best book I have read in a long time...!!

- Rocío Moyano Arboleda, 12 Mars 2009

"Your way of writing is so captivating! Wherever you are, thank you for all these beautiful hours you've given to me, Mr Larsson."

- francesca, lecce, 12 Mars 2009

Great book, beat one ever, stay in peace!

- J-P, Norway, 11 Mars 2009

Corina : You base your whole opinion of a book just on one paragraph? Remember that Stieg was very much against racism and fascism. What he wrote when describing Dragan from the people passionate about racial biology/(READ NAZIS!!!!) was exactly pinpointing how many racists view people from other cultures. Stieg should know since he worked as the chief editor at Expo where he wrote about these very right wing groups and individuals.

Great book in so many different aspects!

- Magnus, Sweden, 9 Mars 2009

"He was an authentic mixture of those that the passionate of racial biology would name, without hesitation, low quality human material".

The mixture is Eastern European populations.

I tried to read this book, Millenium 1, until I found that. I can't give credit to someone who can write something like that.

- Corina, Romania, 9 Mars 2009

Just great, the new Cervantes!

A great read. Couldn't put it down. Kept getting up during the night to read a bit more. Lucky for me that it was my boss who lent me the first book...I could blame her for being sleepy at work. It's unfortunate that such a great storyteller has been lost to the readers of the world.

- Moyra / Australia, 9 Mars 2009

Great books and an even greater loss.

- Jim, Ireland., 8 Mars 2009

What a fantastic book!

Thank you, Stieg. Stay in peace!

- Luiz Felipe, Brazil, 6 Mars 2009

one of the best books i read this last year. hope it willbe translated into Hebrew so that others can have the same pleasure.

thank you stieg and r.i.p

- nana in israel, 6 Mars 2009

I LOVED THE FIRST ONE...DRAGON, I AM WAITING FOR #TWO...FIRE TO GET TO ME...AND AM SAD THAT THREE IS SO FAR AWAY FROM RELEASE IN ENGLISH...THE WORLD LOST A WONDERFUL STORY TELLER AND HUMANITARIAN WHEN STEIG LARSSON DIED R.I.P.

- Meagen Boyd California, 5 Mars 2009

I'm an Italian girl. I read just the first book and the second, but I began reading the third book yesterday. I think Larsson was a great writer, and a great man, too.

I can't wait to watch the movie, I hope we'll have it soon, in Italy. And I hope there's really the fourth or the fifth book of the saga...!

- Manuela, Italy, 4 Mars 2009

Lisbeth is the best character that I've be seen. but when we will have the film in italian language???

- GLORIA, 4 Mars 2009

I am so sorry this very gifted author has died.

- , 4 Mars 2009

I can't stop reading! But I'm trying to go on slowly... I don't want read this book's end!!!

Thanks Stieg, you were a GENIO!!!

- Sara, Italia, 2 Mars 2009

...lisbeth one of us....

- giulia, venice, 2 Mars 2009

From Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain... THANKS FOR MILLENIUM. GRACIES. GRACIAS.

- Catalan, 27 February 2009

Living in Stockholm for almost 2 years now, I didn't want to read Larsson's trilogy... I thought: "Too much talking around these books, they're just crap"... But working within the tourism industry, more and more clients from all over the world started asking me more and more questions about the Millenium books... "Have you read the books? Is Sweden really the way Larsson describes it? Do you know things about the village of Hedestad?"... So I decided to buy the 1st book to be able to answer my clients and sound clever!... And I do not regret it at all!... I bought the book last week and I haven't finished it yet but I can't stop reading it. On the bus, during lunch breaks, in my bed... I even dream about it!... And living in Stockholm makes the story even more alive... I've already been to Södermal to see where the Millenium offices were...

Just one thing to add: don't be stupid and react like I did. If people tell you that something's good, you should then give it a try before thinking they're wrong!

- A French Stockholmer, 26 February 2009

I´m from Sweden and just love all Stieg Larssons books. We bought a Rottweilerpuppy eight months ago and we call her Lisbeth. Of course after Stieg female hero. At friday I will go and watch "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". It will be great!

- et, 26 February 2009

Tak for mange skøne timer R.I.P.

- Jens Hofby, 25 February 2009

SIMPLY THE BEST

- PAOLO - ITALY, 25 February 2009

Hi,

I read already read the 3 books last year (in French) and the titles of the 3 books in english are really silly and far from the original titles. That's too bad.

The books are amazing and it has been a long time that I did not read that much in such a short period !

- , 25 February 2009

i cannot stop reading it. until 4 am... never happened to me! a book is really strong when its power leads you home when you're outside. the first book of millenium trilogy has this incredible power.

- Unsigned, 24 February 2009

Merci Stieg

- A. Thibault, 21 February 2009

Only since one year I have a real hunger to read books. I'm 40 years old now, but you are never too old to start reading! "The Millennium Series" in Dutch: ?Mannen die vrouwen haten?, ?De vrouw die met vuur speelde? en ?Gerechtigheid?. The best books yet in my short reading-history. It?s such a shame that Stieg Larsson can?t write more great books! Bedankt en rust zacht!

- Manon, Holland, 21 February 2009

Just bought "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and decided to re-read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" because I wanted it fresh in my mind before I started the sequel. (I read the first book maybe a year ago). Even reading it for the second time, I found it hard to put down. Can't wait to start the sequel and am very impatient for the third book to arrive in Australia! Stieg Larsson is a genius!!!

- Rainbow Girl, 20 February 2009

I read the tree books in Danish last year - and MAN they rock!

They're some of my favorite books of all time, Stieg Larsson was no less than brilliant at creating this amazing world. Lisbeth Salander is awesome! :D Once you begin reading, there's no going back - you get sucked in and I can only advice to fasten your seat-belt tightly ;)

Can't wait to watch the movie based on book 1 soon!

- Janni, Denmark, 19 February 2009

Just finished the third book, amazing...impossible to put down.

- Pål, 19 February 2009

Love this book

- ashish, 16 February 2009

Just began the first book yesterday and it still reading it late into the the night.Helluva a novel,gonna get the next one by the weekend and it's a pity that the 3rd one won't come out in English till late this year.

- , 16 February 2009

I read the book(The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo). I'm involving in the familiy problem now, and the story was really likely to happen at any family in the world. I am a Japanese woman, and I read it in Japanese. I'd like to read another story in Millenium-series.

- , 16 February 2009

I'm reading "The girl who played with fire" and last night I didn't sleep because I wanted to know how Lisbeth could survive in that situation...I hate and I love Stieg!

- Francesca, 16 February 2009

My cousin recommended the Dragon tattoo - I loved it! Just ordered the 2nd from a seller who can sell a UK release in the US (it won't be published here until summer - we're so behind the times). Could NOT put this book down!!

- Barbara, Illinois, 16 February 2009

Dear Stieg,

My wife offered me the Millenium trilogy, such a wonderful present ! I'am tired because of the shorts nights. While working, I have got only one idea...read, read, read, and be whith Mickael, Lisbeth! Thank you so much!

- Ray Angers France, 14 February 2009

I have found the first two volumes utterly compelling... and the way Stieg weaves in his disgust with aspects of society is superb... I hope Lisbeth is able to recover from her injuries to continue her crusades and maybe to explain Fermat's last theorem!!

- Pete, Yorkshire, 14 February 2009

Read Girl with Dragon Tattoo in two nights. could not think of anything else. delighted to know there is still two books to go. sad that there won't be any more.

- yolanda (south africa), 13 February 2009

"millenium": wonderful!!!!!!!!!

- claudio,bologna, 12 February 2009, 12 February 2009

I read all of the books in less than a week. They really caught me.

I really hope the film will be great too. But I guess the film will never make up to my expectations after reading the novels.

R.I.P Stieg.

- Amanda, Sweden, 11 February 2009

Just finished The Girl Who Played With Fire and am devastated to see that the third book is not coming out in english until late 2009! Compelling reading, so sad that we lost SL in his prime.

- Sacha, Abu Dhabi, 11 February 2009

Thank you great Stieg!I've never read so much as in the last month...!I already miss Sally,rest in peace

- Marco, Milan, 11 February 2009

Yesterday I read the third book. It was great.

- ingrid, 11 February 2009

Much better than Mankell.

Wallander was good but this is great.

Rest in Peace

- Vic, Ibiza, 10 February 2009

After reading the first two in the Millennium series I can't wait for the third to come out later this year. I am sad to think that such a brilliant writer passed in his prime. I also think the translator should be congratulated. The first two books are amongst some of the best I have read in years.

- Terry Mackie, 9 February 2009

I picked up "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" off a new novel table in the local library in Arizona. Wow! I read at least 4 books a week but this one had me reading till late and waking at 5:00 am to start again. I am so sorry to hear of his early death. What talent!

- Inez Anderson, Canada, 02/14/09, 8 February 2009

I picked up "The Girl who Played with Fire" at complete random from Dubai Duty Free before boarding a flight to Frankfurt on Feb 1. It turned out to be the best thing I did. Except that I now have to look for the first book AND wait for the third.

Brilliant book. May the author rest in peace.

- Rafa, 6 February 2009

I just finish to read Millenium II and I am still under the impression! The suspens is so intense that I had difficulty to close the book and sleep at night. And he also made me concerned about the women trade in Sweden or Europe. I was with all my heart with Lisbeth Salander during all the story.

- Hélène Lacasse, 6 February 2009

Highly entertaining mystery, with a serious undertheme. The characters were intriguing, and the plot twists had me guessing hard! The style (as translated into English) is a bit plain, but the author has the capacity to create such a compelling scene that the reader seems magically to enter the book's world. Couldn't wait to pick it up!!

- Elizabeth Johnson Tsang, Holden MA USA, 6 February 2009

Mankell is better;)

- p, 5 February 2009

Between Steig Larssen's description of Sweden, the complexity of the stories and the uncompromising ass-kicking coolness of Lisbeth Salander, mixed with my second fave trilogy by Nicola Griffith and her ass-kicking Norwegian-American Aud Torvingen, I think I may just have to go to Sweden.

Never have I been so enthralled in books - I love reading but with these I found myself reading until only a few hours before I had to get up for work. I am also confident that on second reading, the picture will be so much clearer, there are probably enough layers and twists for even a third or fourth reading.

- jet, 5 February 2009

Absolutely fabulous!!!!! I love Salander ~ i now want to be a computer hacker :-)

I'm currently reading the 2nd book and i'm loving it....i really can't wait a year for the 3rd book :-(

Loving, loving SL and his books.....so sad of his early demise.

- Denise from the UK, 5 February 2009

move over Martin Beck, Kurt Wallander... now a new genre of writing is here ... three cheers for Stieg Larsson. Why did you have to die so young!

Why are the English translatons coming out so late?

- Ishani Majumdar, India, 5 February 2009

I'm about half way through "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" unabridged audiobook, and totally involved with the plot structure, characters, dialog, etc. Can't wait until "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and 3rd unabridged audiobooks are released. I wonder if anyone knows when the Swedish film on the Trilogy will be available is the US? Thanks,

- Howard from California, 4 February 2009

Just finished the third book, planning a trip to Sweden for the movie...completely in love with Lisbeth and increasing protection on my local wireless network in these days...but i would let her in...

Stieg shows a level of respect and understanding of women I can only share and admire, also if it should be normal in anyone (and unfortunately it is not).

All important female characters are somehow great and the good male ones are the ones who respect and really love them.

Stories are fluent and able to capture you from first to last page...Actually I want to turn into a journalist, or a hacker, or a female swedish police officer...still need to decide... Love you Sally... :-)

- Mick from Milan, 4 February 2009

Larsson finished the third book for his own. It is not written by any other. Only the fourth remains unfinished and is part of a legacy conflict between Stiegs father, brother and companion in life.

- drahtlos, 3 February 2009

I finish last night the first book....great...I fall in love for Sally...

- A.Milan, 3 February 2009

@ P.Roan: Yes, Larsson was smoking much too much and drinking coffee all day - while working too much.

@ last comment: This would be an absolutely new fact. Not known, that he did not finish the third book. There isn't any reference in alle Swedish newspaper articles or any other source to it. Even his partner didn't tell.

- Peter, 3 February 2009

Read the books last year in swedish. Larsson died before he finished the third book, so the ending is not written by him, but it's a great book anyway. Lisbeth Salander is my hero!

- , 2 February 2009

Just finished The Girl Who Played with Fire. Is the 3rd book in English anywhere yet?

For the person looking for another great set of characters try Denise Mina's Garnet Hill series. Didn't love quite as much as Lisbeth Salander but right up there.

- Amy - Wash., D.C., 31 January 2009

Simply the best. Thanks for MILLENIUM trilogy. Thanks for the emotion.

- Silvana-Rome, 30 January 2009

50 is awfully young for a fatal MI like his. Does anyone know if he had risk factors such as smoking, high cholesterol or diabetes?

- P Roan, 30 January 2009

Stieg Larsson's books are great! I've red the intere thrilogy in 7 days: I couldn't do anything else. I'm very curious to see the movie...

I think that it would be a good idea search someone who's style of writing is similar to the Larsson's one, and can continue the story of Micheal, Lisbeth, Erika and the other... isn't it? Difficul-maybe- but affascinating...

(Sorry for my english...)

- Lara-Italy-Rosta, 29 January 2009

Looking through the library and stumbled upon this wonderful book. I had a really hard time putting it down. This is one of the best books I have read in a while. I knew very little about Sweden so picked up some knowledge along the way. What an unpleasant surprise to learn of the premature death of the author. I look forward to the English translation of the remaining two novels

- j wilson clarksdale ms, 29 January 2009

Very interesting to follow the viles of the old capitalistic family!Some things never change!

Enjoyed the read very much.

- C.Suter RSA, 28 January 2009

I bought this book because at the Borders bookstore it had a note beneath it saying "You Must Read This Book". They didn't have what I had come for, so I got it. It was a slow start for me, I think because I cannot pronounce the names in my head. I am on to Chapter 2 and cannot wait for a break at work to start reading it again. I was so intrigued by the note about the author at the end that abruptly said he just "died". I hope there is nothing more to it. He's brilliant and what a gift to give the world.

- A Hudson, Spring, TX, USA, 27 January 2009

Why is the English translation so late?

Ired the firt in Italian and the 2 other in French.

I do reommend:

Just finished reading"Los Hombres que no amaban a sus mujeres" (spanish translation). Great book! Great writer!! I'm waiting for the second...

- Aldo Ilarregui, La Pampa, Argentina, 26 January 2009

The books were recommended to me by my Swedish dentist in Flix Tarragona,Spain!! Just before my trip here to Australia. The first book i saw in the shop window was The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo!! I bought it and the 2nd one and couldnt put them down.I have read at least 30 books in the past 7 weeks because of ill health. Guess which were the best two books i read?

Fantastic, and he will be sorely missed.

- SHEILA, SPAIN, 23 January 2009

I finished the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo last night. It is a superb book. Beautifully written, full of unexpected twists and surprises with a plot which holds your attention to the very last page. I am big fan of Swedish crime writing and Stieg Larsson has taken the genre to another level. I look forward to the release of the other books in the series.

- Roslyn, Turkey, 22 January 2009

SL an exceptional writer! This has probably been asked before but given how closely life appears to imitate art in his trilogy, does anyone know if there were any remotely suspicious circumstances surrounding Stieg's death? Sorry to sound like a conspiracist, did he have a heart condition? His is a sad loss but I can imagine the Swedish establishment breathing a sigh of relief at his passing. Perhaps an email campaign should be organised to pressure his family to compensating his widow? I imagine Mr Larsson would have been disgusted at this injustice, just the sort of thing he fought against.

- Tor Larsen, Sydney, Australia, 22 January 2009

I am completely addicted to the books! He is such a great writer and it is a shame he is dead. However, talking to some Swedish friends, his life story could also become a book. Let's all hope some other Swedish journalist will investigate Stieg's life. Am about to finish Millennium 2 and can't wait to read the third one.

- Vicente-Curitiba/Brazil, 21 January 2009

I've literally just this minute come across reviews of Stieg Larsson whilst browsing through Amazon. Being a reading addict, I'm suprised that I haven't come across him before. Judging by the reviews, I've got a major read ahead of me. As anybody who loves reading knows, there's nothing like coming across a writer that you've never read before and who is considered brilliant by everybody who has read them. I can't wait to start the first book of the trilogy.

- Claudine Bulpitt, UK, 21 January 2009

Great writer, wonderful book.

- Deborah Tveter, Chicago-Lima, 20 January 2009

It's not that common but if anyone calls you "Kalle Blomqvist" in Sweden they mean that you're a bit tiresome in the way that you are just a little too good/splendid/well-behaved in an irritating way. It refers to the Astrid Lindgren character (a boy-detective that I believe Larsson based Mikael on - I've read somewhere that it all began when Larsson was pondering what would happen if the Astrid Lindgren characters Kalle and Pippi Longstocking (Salander) where living in todays society))...

- Micke, 19 January 2009

Have just finished 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. Such skillful writing with such class. Could'nt put it down. Finely drawn characters with whom one could identify and understand. Salander hopefully is in each book - what a loss Larsson is to the literary world. But, not speaking any Swedish, why is "Kalle" such an insult? I should very much like to know.

- Norma Hobbs, Australia, 19 January 2009

These Millennium books are well worth losing sleep over!! Impossible to put down, cleverly written, love them. I am now waiting for the third part and allready sorry that there will be no more of them. So sad that Larsson died before he finished part four. Maybe the family could be persuaded to publish it anyway..

- ilja, the netherlands, 17 January 2009

I just finished reading the final book in the series (in Swedish) and have to say that I was spellbound by them! And I agree with previous comments--it's a shame that there won't be any more works written by this amazing author!

- alison, 15 January 2009

I just finished reading the series (in Swedish) and was absolutely spellbound! I couldn't put the books down!

- , 15 January 2009

It's not about misogyny, It's about accuracy: Mirroring multi-gygabyte sized hard disks to remote FTP in minutes is just fantasy (just to mention one).

Also, a man (that Kalle) who gets laid with whomever woman he wants... isn't it misogyny?

- Not-So-Impressed, 15 January 2009

Don't let misogyny (poorly disguised below by Not so impressed) keep you from these wonderful books. There are no male writers in North America who write credibly about women as human beings, and thus none who tackle unflinchingly the subject Steig addresses in this trilogy: men who hate women - as an abnormal, vicious and profoundly anti human condition. These are great books for more reasons than this stance, but this is enough.

- Marian/BC, 15 January 2009

You're all guys lucky, 'coz in Poland exist for now only the first part and no specified details regarding next ones ... looking forward for this dark, cold climate under normal behaviours at the first glance ...

- greyt, 14 January 2009

I think he (the writer) should have looked for advice in the software issues. It's all so fantastic, incredible and inaccurate (Mac OS!, FTP transfer rates sooo high...)

But, if you liked Adstrid Lindgren when a child, you would like the book: It's Pippi again.

- Not-So-Impressed, 14 January 2009

I just finished the first book on Saturday and on Sunday I'm on the second already. I will finish it before the third com
