I for one, loved it. I recommended it to my sister and she hated it.

Perhaps it's more complicated. I liked the story and plot enough to finish the first book, but the writing was bad - especially the dialogue was toe-curling. The journalist was too obviously a hero version of Larsson. A few, but large, chunks of info-dumps... I read it in a Danish translation from Swedish - don't know whether that might matter - perhaps the translation in English reads better. But even if I can understand the fascination, I don't understand the hype. It doesn't feel so much different from other (Scandinavian) crime fiction I've read..
