I am finishing up the third book, and sad that I will never again read more of the characters of Salander and Blomkvist. It's rough, knowing there will be no more stories. Even if Larsson's companion were legally allowed to finish the fourth book, I'd still want, as I am sure many fans would, a fifth and a sixth and so on. RIP, Stieg Larsson.

I have read the first book and am 30 pages from the end of the second and can't wait to read the third. These books are some of the best read ever. The world lost a great writer when Mr Larsson passed. When I finish with the last book, I will go get the biography of Mr Larsson. When my sister rented the movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and it was in subtitles, I thought, what did she rent? well me, my husband and my sister were glued to the tv. I plan to buy the movie and watch it again and again and I hope the other two books are also made into movies. Thank you Mr Larsson.

Just finished & loved Dragon, renting the film this afternoon & starting Fire this evening. What a pity Mr. Larsson's life was cut so short, he truly did leave too soon & apparently had a lot more to say. What a sad ending for his life companion Eva Gabrielsson; first his death then the problems w/his family. Seems as though they should be sharing his memory not be fighting over the estate. Hopefully, there will be a 4th book!

I just finished reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and I couldn't put it down! I have read true crime and fiction a long time and I feel Mr. Larsson is the best writer by far!

If the rumor about a 4th book by another author is true, it will surely be a sell-out!

You can download it on Audible.com (all three) in both abridged and unabridged format. I just finished listening to them and wish that he had lived to write the other seven! What a loss. RIP and be blessed Mr Larsson.

I am just finishing Millenium III. The series is one of the best I have read for a long, long time.

The entire stories-of his books, obviously intertwined with his life- are a fascinating puzzle. Love it all.

Mary Ellen needs to read her Bible and leave the rest of us alone. What a great book by a great author. I am devastated that we wil never again read something from him.

- Judy, 14 June 2010

I agree. This trilogy is among the best books I have ever read. I, too, am very sad there will be no more books from Mr. Larsson. If Mary Ellen cannot be bothered to research the books she purchases for her son before she actually buys them, if that is truly an issue, then I would say that her son is in need of a parent with a brain, let alone a moral compass.

I am just curious as to whether she read the book AFTER her son! LOL! If so, at least her son has had the good luck to be exposed to some amazing storytelling.
