Fucking weird-ass book. In two more years, I'll probably find myself reading the third one.
I wanted to beat my head against the wall every time Larsson said something stupid/ridiculous/inane about Fermat's Last Theorem. ...more

So I've been reading (actually, listening to the audio) this book for the past three years. I can't seem to get into it. now that I only have 2 1/2 hours left, I feel like I should power through to the end.

Not as good as the first, but still compelling. Now I can't wait to read the 3rd.
