In fact, I think I read it far too fast, as I lost details of the story quickly after reading the entire series... there was just so much to absorb, given the complexity of the characters and the long time over which the story unfolds ... a great series! too bad we lost Larsson. I wonder what he would have come up with to top this blockbuster!Susan Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039551683129884367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-88931175193758086312015-09-17T23:04:41.796-04:002015-09-17T23:04:41.796-04:00sigh.

I wish they would have hung in there because the ending was worth it! On a side note, we were all amused about how much coffee everyone drank day or night in the book. readinginthegarden.blogspot.comReading in the Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205422469750049005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-87091857476730817952015-09-12T17:59:14.869-04:002015-09-12T17:59:14.869-04:00I was so frustrated with what I felt unnecessary l...I was so frustrated with what I felt unnecessary length and violence in the first one, that I never finished the trilogy.
