Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best of the Month, July 2009: The girl with the dragon tattoo is back. Stieg Larsson's seething heroine, Lisbeth Salander, once again finds herself paired with journalist Mikael Blomkvist on the trail of a sinister criminal enterprise. Only this time, Lisbeth must return to the darkness of her own past (more specifically, an event coldly known as "All the Evil") if she is to stay one step ahead--and alive. The Girl Who Played with Fire is a break-out-in-a-cold-sweat thriller that crackles with stunning twists and dismisses any talk of a sophomore slump. Fans of Larsson's prior work will find even more to love here, and readers who do not find their hearts racing within the first five pages may want to confirm they still have a pulse. Expect healthy doses of murder, betrayal, and deceit, as well as enough espresso drinks to fuel downtown Seattle for months. --Dave Callanan
Product Description
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.
But he has no idea just how explosive the story will be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander—the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of The Girl Who Played with Fire.
As Blomkvist, alone in his belief in Salander’s innocence, plunges into an investigation of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.
From the Hardcover edition.

 Super book. Great seller. September 5, 2010
Rita Gearhart (Edinburgh, IN United States)
After reading the first book in this trilogy, I was completely hooked. The second book provided much more action and excitement that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I found it to be easier to read. I highly recommend this book, and I also recommend this seller.

The story starts out hooking you into the world of a young, highly intelligent woman of whom those claiming to know her actually find out how little they really do know about this quirky, aloof heroine.
An engaging plot with characters that keep the interest level high.

J. Schliefert (Colorado)
Very intriguing and grabbing. Got into it right away. A little fantastical at the end, but by then I was routing for everyone to find the bad guys! What a surprising twist of plot.
 Too many disturbing images for my taste September 5, 2010
dmc (Minnesota)
I bought the series of three books because everyone seemed to like the books, but the vivid descriptions of violence to girls and women was too hard for me to read. I skipped over those parts and actually quit reading the books. Read the beginning and endings and that was enough. The detailed description of what happened to the girls and women was not entertainment to me. Sure the perpetrators were punished but it seemed the author lingered too long on pornographic details. Sorry, I hated the books. Kept trying to see why they were so popular though.
Reliable Site September 5, 2010
Lila Ansley (Cleveland, OH)
The books arrived in the time promised and were in good condition. I would use this site again. The price was also very good compared to purchase at a bookstore.
