Nancy D. (colafemina) reviewed on 6/22/2010 + 83 more book reviews

As my kids say, "Meh." I'm not getting what's so great. It's predictable & formulaic, it's a guy-fantasy in which the middle aged magazine editor's magnetism for all women is hard to believe, and his idealized "no strings, friends with benefits" relationship with his best (girl)friend is presented as a given. It has the requisite evil Nazi and some atmospherics, but the motivation is not really fathomible and my eyes glazed over as the arcaine machinations of financial dealings were laid out to justify the existence of any interest at all. Overall, I'm not getting the hype. I certainly won't read any others by Larsson.
