Also, there seems to be no mysteries here. The book observes a genre shift into a type of legal battle slash procedural crime thriller. I was thinking I would not enjoy this, but maybe I was wrong. The conflict of state secret vs individual right makes it interesting; and topic of the role of women is society is constantly mentioned in the book (albeit sometime about too obviously)

I realised that while the prose in this book is very easy to read, the growing cast of characters (counting the one from the previous book) makes it very hard to mentally keep track of who's who. New names are constantly thrown in the mix (even real-life people's name).

at least, not yet. Millenium series without a mystery is just.... boring

I'm having trouble with this 3rd book. Unlike the previous 2, there is no mysteries. Most of what I've read so far includes recapping and characters explaining and plotting.

Rereading

Larsson's prose, I found, is very simplistic. Or is it the translation? No. It's great for some light-weight reading, where I don't have to focus too hard. But when I'm REALLY reading the sentences, they are written in a very plain, matter-of-fact, monotonous way. I also disliked the parts where huge chunk of time passed by in just a couple of sentences.
