New Collected Poems, Tomas Tranströmer
Who really reads poetry nowadays?
Many people read poetry in their youth when they are looking for an expression for all their intense emotions. In grief we return.
Many read the poems in obituaries, some of which may turn out mundane while others can capture the most intense feelings in the proximity of death.
One of last year's most popular Christmas gifts in Sweden was no doubt Tomas Tranströmer’s volume of collected poems, which had already been published for the author's 80th birthday in A...

The Grand Larsson
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a huge 500 page opus, multi-layered, multi-character tale by a writer of some considerable power. Full of social conscience and compassion, with considerable insight into the nature of moral corruption, it just knocked me out. This book took over my life this weekend, as when I was away from the narrative I became grumpy and desperate to return to the story, such is the power of this work.

The book is 465 pages. I started it in the Barnes and Noble over a cup of coffee on Sunday afternoon. Within the first 15 pages, I knew I had to buy the book, something I don't usually do. I finished the book Wednesday morning around 3 am. I knew when Salander threw Blomkvist's Christmas present in the garbage that there had to be a sequel. No one would leave this character hanging like this. Don't start this book if you don't have time to finish it. Once you start, you won't want to...

Characters in this book range from sympathetic to unbelievable. Blomqvist is everyman, highly talented; we like him in spite of his failings. Salander (The Girl ...) is the techie researcher/savant who rights wrongs in her own way - the antihero. Henrik Vanger supposedly doesn't know anything about serial killers and sexual deviants in his own family; he's not believable. Set in austere and frigid northern Sweden, this is a book you can't put down until the mystery is solved. Many them...

Steig larssons millennium trilogy is, I feel, truly a masterpiece, with more slippery twists than a pit of vipers. He weaves the reader in to ever deeper plot and sub-plot with such flair, that I just could not put it down. Dark and disturbing? Oh Yes!gruesome? undoubtedly! but brilliant in its composition. Real seat of your pants excitement right to the end. The only great shame of it all is that there will be no more. RIP Steig. Thanks for the ride.

A mystery. Yes, a disappearance. On an island off the coast of Stockholm, accessible only by one bridge, a teenage girl has disappeared. The man hired to look into this mystery (the Swedish equivalent of Hercule Poirot, perhaps), is Mikael Blomqvist, an investigative financial reporter in his forties, who specializes in exposing sleaze and corruption for a magazine he co-owns with his married lover.
The only problem is: this is what they call a ?cold case.? Harriet Vanger went missing ...

All Chacteristics of a Great Story
I believe a lot of the problem preconceived about this movie is it's depth. This is not a bad thing, but rather, not to be taken as 'light watching' material. The subject matter, albeit heavy, is beautifully portrayed without glorifying the horrific nature of the acts. Not for everyone; definately a movie aimed for an audience seeking an intense thriller over the course of many hours. Not recommended for those that enjoy quick thrillers with fast plot development and minimal character devel...

A mind blowing story about a girl who is out an out fighter. The book is captivating and right paced. The way the story unravels keeps you hooked right till the end.
The character Lisbeth Salander inspires both awe and sympathy. The girl has seen the worst and is prepared for even more. Her spirit to fight all odds and come out successful is just awesome.
The books clearly show how a father-daughter relationship can affect the psychology of a child and what can become of her.

Brilliant! I was left wanting more!
I went from one book to the next as fast I could. Inspired by the depth of the characterizations, I wa led into a world I knew nothing about and felt captive there. Larsson's background in journalism seems to have left a huge imprint on his work, which I fully appreciate. To me at least, the skill of the journalist and the skill of the novelist became an unbeatable combination--at least as reflected in this remarkable Trilogy. I was left wanting more.

This series keeps getting better and better! I love the first book and thought that Larsson played the characters brilliantly. With this book, he didn't hesitant on giving his twist that will make you say, "What??? Is that for real?" I mean I had that same feeling near the end of the book. When I thought that it was great with how the story goes, then I read another twist which makes the book so explosive. This is a great read especially for people like me that loves mystery suspense.

I have got to be one of the three people in the world who did not like this book. Yes, the plot is different and the Salander character is someone whose like we have not seen before. However, the writing is incredibly stiff and dry. In my opnion, the author had little skill in either developing characters or getting to the point.

I quite liked the book in general, it is compulsive reading material. However, the first 200 and the last 100 pages were boring. The whole Wennerstrom line of the story was unrealistic and unattractive. The main story was interesting but very predictable. It was clear from the beginning that Harriet used to be abused by her father, that she had killed him and finally ran away. There were so many hints to that. It was also clear that there were more than a single criminal in the family. In ...

The complexity and depth of Lisbeth is painfully real. Larsson intuitively understood the ramifications of sexism, violence, and hatred of powerful and smart women.

A polished literary form behind a crude facade, that proves successful books are still based on simplicity and passion rather than unintelligible language flourishes. Rich, complex characters, explosive plots and wonderful action. Takes a man who has never seen Sweden all the way there.
Went through the first one in two days; expect to have the second finished sometimes tomorrow.
