I'd assumed from the start that Harriet had run away so that bit wasn't a great suprise to me...
The whole sexual violence theme of the book was rather OTT if you ask me, it could have been done much less bluntly - I felt it was kind of dropped in as he couldn't think of anything else to put there in the plot if that makes sense?
I did enjoy reading this book but I'm not bothered about reading another one - I did feel quite let down by the ending but not for any specific reason really...
Perhaps I need to read it again but it felt like there was so much that was missed out - does that make sense?
I did want some sort of 'freedom' for Lisbeth though e.g. Blomkvist telling her it was Aspergers and her going ooooooh and getting out of the system properly but I guess that would have been against her character of going TO anyone...

Yes I liked this too...
I do agree that the swedish references left me a bit lost but it is a translation...
And we never did find out what Susannah or whateverhernamewas in the shop knew...
