Re: Discussion of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I wonder how the original differed from the English version and if there is anything that we might have missed due to translation errors.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (original title in Swedish: Män som hatar kvinnor, "Men Who Hate Women") is a crime novel by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. It is the first book of the Millennium trilogy, which, when published posthumously in 2005, became a best-seller in Europe and the United States
My favorite character was Lisbeth Salander , honestly she was the most character that kept me hooked from the beginning, genius but deeply troubled Freelance surveillance agent, researcher and a computer hacker who assists the Swedish author Mikael Blomkvist on his quest for a mass murderer and a serial rapist
Mikael was hired by Henrik Vanger to investigate the cold case of his great-niece, Harriet Vanger, who has been missing for 36 years and presumed dead.
The characters were all well-developed, credible and easy to relate to.
The pace of the story was perfect for me, steady pace quickens to the ending while slowly unraveling the mystery of the killer.
Of course I recommend the book for everyone who enjoys Crime, mystery, thriller and Scandinavian noir

Loved the character of Lisbeth Salander. So different from most main characters and was interested in how she reacted to things and stayed so strong through all she had been through.
Would highly recommend.
