I recommend the novel with some reservations.

Interesting point but I don't think the female characters were particularly interested in commitment either ... one was happily, if unconventionally, married if I remember right & Lisbeth certainly wasn't into the conventional 'happy ever after'.Evapohler wrote:Most of the members of my book club loved this thriller. I certainly couldn't put it down. But when I look back over the story, I find it reads too much like a male fantasy, kind of the opposite of romance fiction for women. We have a man who is able to attract a young and beautiful, albeit neurotic, woman whom no other man has successfully engaged. This same man solves an old family mystery that no one else can solve. He writes a story that immediately puts every other journalist to shame. And he is desired by all the women with whom he comes into contact, and these women do not expect commitment--they are merely grateful for the opportunity to share his bed. What a man you are, Mikael Blomkvist!

I agree with the general consensus: slow to start, redeems itself hugely when things take off. Salander rocks & the second one's even better!
Haven't got round to the third yet - it's on the long list of things to read! Looking forward to it though

He is my favorite character. Has there ever been another man in literature to do so much cleaning and sweeping around the cabin? He was always the one to cook breakfast. All the way to the end of the trilogy, I wondered if a love interest would ever cook for him!Evapohler wrote:...

I discovered it a little tedious and yes, too numerous Vangers almost ruined the broth. However in the end it was worth it to me, and the doing well publications more than worth it.
