This book is crack! Probably my first unputdownable book of the year. Why did I wait 15 years to read this? I might’ve been afraid that it wouldn’t live up to the first book so I let it collect dust. Lisbeth is still bad ass, but she’s vulnerable too. Blomkvist is still just going with the flow. The writing is such that Larson lists everything that Lisbeth buys when she goes shopping but it isn’t bloated.

Book 8 of my Collecting Dust series. One chapter down and I think this is going to be a quick read, despite the length. This is saying something since I read about 3 pages or so on the theories of classic mathematicians. If I remember correctly, Larsson was a journalist and so he feels compelled to give readers all the facts no matter how extraneous. I ain’t bored though. There’s something about his writing.
