I'm half-way through the third book and have seen the first two films.
The prevalence of violence against women and the neo-nazi underground in Sweden were surprises to me. The "unlikely heroine" is what makes it all work. Noomi Rapace nailed Lisbeth; almost exactly what I'd envisioned from the books.
