You must have finished the trilogy by now. I agree with Lisa that the second book is the best out of the three. Great blog and comments.

Tenny, was this your first comment ever? Sadly, I have no idea what it means.

Screamish – I actually loved what Larsson did with the characterisation. I thought Lisbeth was a really unusual character, and though unlikely, quite sympathetic. It was easy for me to get behind her because she’s got such unique talents and has suffered so much. I think there’s definitely a lot for a reader to swallow in reading her story though. That’s an interesting point about the translation, too. I’ll have to take another look at the book.

Where I thought the book really suffered in not having been edited extensively was in pacing and in evenness of tone.

I’m sorry, I just didn’t get much out of this book-

I wonder if it was a translation thing? a lot of the writing seemed a little clumsy (I can’t give examples right now coz the book is upstairs three flights up and i’ll wake up my husband if i go to fetch it).

The Lisbeth character seemed, yes, a bit first draftish- how is she capable of tying up her rapist and tattooing insults on his belly…yet she is manifestly such a victim…and able to sleep with Blomkvist, quite lightly offer herself up to him mere weeks (or was it days?) afterwards?
