Yet another Swedish crime author. And yet more bloodshed to stain that calm Swedish landscape.
I really enjoyed this and most folk must agree given the recent release of the Hollywood film of the same name. But, there are those that disagree...
- Some folk reckon it is sexist and demeans the status of women with the characterisation of the "girl" with violent sex scenes being plain gratuitous
- In a World Book Club edition, Henning Mankell slated Stieg Larson as a dreadful writer and didn't consider him to be in the same league as the great and the good (such as himself, we presume). Sheesh, just as well Stieg ain't about to hear him.
