My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I like the plotting in Steig Larsson's novels, and I'm really growing fond of the character of Lisbeth Salander (i.e. the girl with the dragon tattoo). But do we really need to know every item she purchases when she goes shopping, even though nothing she buys is essential to the plot? Some times it seems like Larsson goes a bit overboard on the mundane details.
Aside from that, I really enjoyed this second installment of the Lisbeth Salander story. She's an interesting character, and I've come to like her in spite of her asocial personality. In this book, Salander is on the run, accused of a triple murder. All the evidence points to her guilt and Mikael Blomqvist determines to prove her innocence. First, he must prove it to himself.
