May be its due to taste of books I like. I had also recommended it to my friends. They have similar response to it. I will rate it a "A" I have read the story of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” but unlike Bill I did liked it. May be its due to taste of books I like. I had also recommended it to my friends.

It felt like two different books mashed together: the finance industry story and the murder mystery. It worked, but I think the financial industry piece could have been downplayed. I can't speak to overrated. The Wife had just finished reading it and said it was good. That was the first I had heard of it. I thought it was worth reading and got me interested in reading his other two books. I'd give it a B+. It wasn’t just the length.

It felt too long and there was a whole superfluous story line (the story about the corrupt industrialist that occupies the last 100 pages or so) that had little or no connection to the main story. My conclusion: overrated. Grade: B-. (BTW I don't ever speak ill of another writer, and on my own blog I only review books I can recommend without reservation. Kind of a writer's Hippocratic Oath. But since Larsson is dead, I'm bending my rule here.) What grade do you give it, Doug?
