I pretty much echo what has already been stated here. I was really drawn into the first book in the series, though even then the flaws were apparent; too much unnecessary detail (what characters had for breakfast, what they were wearing, . . .) and the Salander character being unrealistic. A good editor could have reduced the novel lengths to about 60% of as published with no loss. These flaws just seemed to become more apparent as I progressed through the series. I actually struggled to finish the third, with a lot of skimming really, but I just had to see how it all turned out. I just had to see what flawed comic book superhero Salander, which is what she had become, would do next.

Anyway so I could not say that I did not like it, nor would I consider reading it again. So “It's a good one time read.”
