I think you'd definitely want to read Larssen's Girl With the Dragon Tattoo first to give you some background, but the real "meat" of Lisbeth's character & history are explored in this second novel of the trilogy. The ending may seem a little far-fetched, but if you can tackle & keep track of all the Swedish names & locations, you'll definitely enjoy the ride from beginning to end. For those of us in the States, it's a pity we have to wait a while for the 3rd installment to be released here. Can't wait! (  ) indygo88 | Nov 13, 2009 |  Excellent sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The same interesting characters are here with a focus on Lisbeth Salander and her life after being disappointed by Mikael BLomkvist. Exciting and compelling. (  ) RABooktalker | Nov 11, 2009 | Read a quarter of this Swedish thriller since yesterday (my kindle tells me) and had to force myself to put it down. Larrsen's storytelling is so captivating, weaving in several threads that may come together eventually. Lisbeth Salander is such a likeable character, so tough and fragile. ( ) emmsbookshelf | Nov 8, 2009 | Loved this. Although I thought the first in the series was good I had seen reviews that said the second was even better. So true! When I finished the last page of "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" I went and grabbed the next one to start straight away. (  ) AnneLarson | Nov 7, 2009 | Like the first novel in the series, this is an engaging mystery thriller dealing with an extremely important social theme. Entertaining and well worth the time.

 When a novel moves or affects me deeply, I think about it when I’m walking around. I don’t find myself thinking about The Girl Who Played With Fire, but while I was reading it, I was useless until I got to the end. In retrospect, my experience of the book, like it’s characters, seems unreal. As, of course, it was. When Larsson gets down to the business of telling a story, he tells a nerve-tingling tale. For all the complications of the melodramatic story, which advances at a brisk, violently cinematic clip in Reg Keeland’s translation, it’s clear where Larsson’s strongest interests lie — in his heroine and the ill-concealed attitudes she brings out in men. Mr. Larsson’s two central characters, Salander and Blomkvist, transcend their genre and insinuate themselves in the reader’s mind through their oddball individuality, their professional competence and, surprisingly, their emotional vulnerability.
