What a curious book--it managed to be totally compelling and addictive reading even though it has basically no plot tension at all. I got around that by pretending it was just part 2 of the previous book, which it basically is: that was the set-up and this is the payback. And boy, does Larsson pile ...
Genius. Sharp, precise strokes in plot and character development. Fabulously complex and layered plot. A very removed narrative distance that's that for ever reader, but it's perfect for the mind of Lisbeth Salander. High on my favorites of the year.
