Reviews
It is amazing
I have read Millennium with the same happiness and feverish excitement I read Dumas and Dickens as a child. It is amazing. This trilogy secretly comfort us. Maybe not everything is lost in this imperfect world. Welcome to the inmortality of fiction, Lisbeth Salander!
Marios Vargas LlosaIt doesn’t get much better than this
And when a writer delivers such a complex and fascinating portrayal like that of Lisbeth Salander all we can do is bow down in gratitude. It doesn’t get much better than this.
Gefle Dagblad (SE)An authentic phenomenon
An authentic phenomenon/…/Salander represents something new and unique in this genre.
