Further to Cheryl's excellent discussion, where she talked about Lisbeth possibly having Aspberger's -- it IS mentioned; on page 556, Lisbeth's first trustee Palmgren (the good trustee) says he had seen that Lisbeth had many characteristics of the condition, but also many other qualities that do not fit the Aspberger's model, and says he doesn't know what (if anything) she's got.

I found the book a riveting read, although a bit hard to follow at times because of the number of characters and the place names, which are very likely extremely significant to the Swedish but conveyed nothing to this American. I could have done with a map and a cast of characters list. Mikael is kind of a lox, but Lisbeth is unforgettable.
