Mikael Blomkvist has been convicted of libel against a pretty corrupt businessman. So when Henrik Vanger calls and says that he can give Blomkvist proof of the man's corruption if he agrees to investigate an unsolved murder, of course Blomkvist agrees. He starts investigating a family mystery from the 1960s, and with the help of Lisbeth Salander, hacker extraordinaire, he comes so close to the truth that his life is in jeopardy.
I really wanted to like this book, because Lisbeth Salander is an appealing character- a tech-savvy young woman who doesn't care about anyone or anything, but handles her own and takes care of business. However, this book was really unpleasant with the amount of graphic violence and rape. I want everything to turn out alright for Lisbeth Salander, but not enough to finish the series.
