it was ok

This book is about Salander, and how her past is affecting her present. We learn a great deal about what happened to her, which is nice, but the story moves at a snails pace. We learn something from one characters point of view then quite often go to another character's point of view and learn the same thing. If it weren't for this kind of repetition, the book could have easily been 200-300 pages, especially if it didn't have Larsson obsessive compulsive need to tell (not show) us too much information such as character biographies. Some sections even felt like he read Wikipedia and rewrote what he found there, even though the information isn't really relevant to the story.

DavidO I'll watch the movie at some point AFTER reading this book. Probably enjoy it more that way.
