Professional Reviews

| : |
New York Times: "[The novel] boasts an intricate, puzzlelike story line that attests to Mr. Larsson's improved plotting abilities, a story line that simultaneously moves backward into Salander's traumatic past, even as it accelerates toward its startling and violent conclusion.", Philadelphia Inquirer: "FIRE remains superior to many mysteries, and Larsson's gifts are substantial.", Publishers Weekly: "Fans of intelligent page-turners will be more than satisfied by Larsson's second thriller....Powerful prose and intriguing lead characters will carry...readers along.", Times (London): "What makes [THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE] outstanding is the author's ability to handle dozens of characters and parallel narratives without ever losing tension. Larsson was as vexed by misogyny as any author I've come across, but he was also a fantastic storyteller. This novel will leave readers on the edge of their seats.", Washington Post: "THE GIRL WITH WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE confirms the impression left by DRAGON TATTOO. Here is a writer with two skills useful in entertaining readers royally: creating characters who are complex, believable and appealing even when they act against their own best interest; and parceling out information in a consistently enthralling way." |
