Blah, blah, blah...Yak, yak, yak...I've heard about this book til' I'm blue in the face...I FINALLY read it to put a cork in a couple of friends...Apparently I'm not easily impressed or just not hip enough to get it...It was predictable, boring, and WAY too long winded...Stieg Larsson spent way too much of his too short life telling backstory that I could give a rat's patoot about...There was a couple of memorable things in the book but all in all it was predictable...I was told, "you won't believe the twists in it"...Seriously??? I've seen episodes of Criminal Minds that had WAY more twists and turns in it...And it's been made into a movie??? TWICE??? Call me square but I just don't get it...Perhaps I'm not edgy enough...But I really wish I had never read it...Tried like the devil to get through the second one...Weighed as much as a cinder block and the cinder block was way more interesting...Sorry...
