Helpful Score: 1

An excellent story but not for the sqeamish. The book contains a brutal rape and a number of really grisly murders. Larson tends to be a bit heavy-handed on minor details throughout much of the book but mercifully includes just enough details of the more gruesome events to fully grip the horror without grinding the reader's face in it. Lisbeth Salander is truly one of the most unique and intriguing characters in modern fiction. The narration is well-performed, as well. The book is gripping, surprising, and inventive.
