As it happens with the Millenium triology, there's something more than the crime: Larsson's criticism of the many flaws of Swedish society that could be easily extended to any other European country.<br /><br />I hope you like the second installment, it is as good as the first one ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-44734255092997363232013-07-31T10:43:41.927+01:002013-07-31T10:43:41.927+01:00I don't tend to read a great deal of thrillers...I don't tend to read a great deal of thrillers either.

She is very compelling and hard to look away from, but her amorality bothered me, especially when I tried to read the second in the series.

I didn't even get through the third book, to be honest. The terrible editing just isn't something I can get over. The first 200 pages of the first two books just need to be eliminated. The rest of the books also need a good slashing. They just have a very raw manuscript feel and could have been so much better. BUT the story is excellent and gripping. I really did like Lisbeth.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474997114568231162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-25727353405326630372013-07-30T08:39:09.858+01:002013-07-30T08:39:09.858+01:00Thank you for this review.

I've heard about how "different" and awesome the female character is, but I already had the fear that I would come away with the same emotion as you in those regards, and it's good to know that beforehand, if I ever do choose to read the trilogy.Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-38093428097357795862013-07-30T02:02:10.753+01:002013-07-30T02:02:10.753+01:00I really enjoyed this book - and the others that f...I really enjoyed this book - and the others that follow it - but agree about it being rather slow at first.

It has that kind of pull that drew me in even though I didn't enjoy it (a lot like Twilight). My two biggest complaints were the awkward writing (which is likely a translation issue) and the fact that I didn't have a chance to solve the mystery (he figures it all out based on pictures that aren't in the book - it is a big pet peeve of mine when reading a mystery to not be given the tools to solve it). But I do agree that it does important work in drawing attention to the prevalence of sexual violence, and that the original title was a MUCH better fit.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127105939589606854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-68996836835759564112013-07-29T19:39:35.812+01:002013-07-29T19:39:35.812+01:00My fiance has listened to the whole series and he ...My fiance has listened to the whole series and he really liked it.
