Lisbeth Salander . . . is one of the most original characters in a thriller to come along in a while." -- The New York Times "Anyone who enjoys grounding their imaginations in hundreds . . . of exciting pages about the way we live now ought to take advantage of this trilogy." -- Chicago Tribune "Exhilarating. . . .

A fitting ending to an outstanding crime trilogy. Larsson deserves every scrap of his reputation as a master storyteller." -- Time Out London, "A thoroughly gripping read . . . Lisbeth Salander, Stieg Larsson's fierce pixie of a heroine, is one of the most original characters in a thriller to come along in a while-a gamin, Audrey Hepburn look-alike but with tattoos and piercings, the take-no-prisoners attitude of Lara Croft and the cool, unsentimental intellect of Mr. Spock . . . Owes less to the Silence of the Lambs horror genre than to something by John le Carré." -Michiko Kakutani, New York Times "The literary equivalent of a caffeine rush . . . Larsson was one of those rare writers who could keep you up until 3 a.m. and then make you want to rush home the next night to do it again . . . Larsson is something like John Grisham [but] Larsson held an extra ace: the creation of Salander." - Newsweek "It's over! And I feel the same sense of pleasure and loss that I did when I watched the finale of 'The Sopranos' and the last episodes of 'Battlestar Galactica' . . . Salander is, I promise, someone you will never forget . . . Anyone who enjoys grounding their imaginations in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of exciting pages about the way we live now ought to take advantage of this trilogy." -Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune "Larsson has produced a coup de foudre, a novel that is complex, satisfying, clever, moral . . . This is a grown-up novel for grown-up readers, who want something more than a quick fix and a car chase. And it's why the Millennium trilogy is rightly a publishing phenomenon all over the world." - Guardian "A heart-stopping showdown showcases one of crime fiction's most unforgettable characters-and cements Larsson's rep as one of its most passionate and original voices." - People "Confirms Larsson as one of the great talents of contemporary crime fiction." - Sunday Times (UK) "Exhilarating . . . Larsson's was an undeniably powerful voice in crime fiction that will be sorely missed." - Publishers Weekly "Fast-paced enough to make those Jason Bourne films seem like Regency dramas." - Kirkus Reviews "Larsson's vivid characters, the depth of the detail across the three books, the powerfully imaginative plot, and the sheer verve of the writing make the trilogy a masterpiece of its genre." - The Economist "There are few characters as formidable as Lisbeth Salander in contemporary fiction of any kind . . .
