This is the book review section, not the movie's my magazine is in forum.
The book was good, but needed some editing. The fact that Stieg died probably didn't help matters. And the fact the notes for the fourth book are still in the hands of his girlfriend doesn't bode well.
I do want to see more of Lisbeth and Kalle fucking blomquist.
There wasn't a lot of arc or mystery or twist to the final book. We know who the bad guys are and we are going to go get them. Lisbeth brother haunts the book but you only see his trail, you never actually find out what he is thinking about. He's kind of brought out as a gotcha to give some excitement, but at the best he's just a boogey man. Other characters that were talked about in the beginning vanish in the book never to be seen from again.
But the book kept my interest. I did want to see how the whole thing would turn out. But were the first act was twisty and full of mystery and the second was full of action, the final book was just about tying up loose ends.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
