So, I managed to finish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo yesterday afternoon in the pool...despite some unexpected company. As I mentioned, the first few chapters - corporate warfare, financial journalism, etc - were a bit tough to get through. But once I got through them and to the actual heart of the story, I was sucked in and couldn't wait to find out what happened.
One thing that threw me is that throughout the book, the main characters are pretty much always referred to by last name. I don't know if that is a Swedish thing or just something peculiar to this author. I have the second book to read...but this week I'm going with "Venus Envy" by Shannon McKelden, which I picked up at the book sale on Monday. It appears to be a pretty quick read...we'll see.
