I've only read THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNETS' NEST - I loved it - brilliant! Found it 'by mistake' in the library and it's the only one the Librarian could find.....

Very stiff and dehydrated. Have only just inserted

the contact lens which gives my eye long sight, and

straightened limbs cramped with the effort of staying still long enough to consume 800 pages in 2 days.

All I can say is that it is a compulsive read, and I still

have the third novel to go.

Are the Chinese simplified copyrights still available? If some Chinese publishers have interest in the trilogy, how can they get the copyright?

The books are great, but why on Earth they used non-metric in English translation?? It's painful to read about INCHES of snow in Sweden, which switched to metric at the end of 19th century! As a European temporally leaving in the US, I'm fed up with non-metric and really didn't enjoy seeing it in Larsson's books!

- Doctor_B, 25 December 2009

Sure, but english and american speaking people surely feel the same regardibīng metric

- PF, 30 December 2009

Not in Australia. We're into the metric system too.

- , 8 January 2010

Is there such thing as "american" speaking people?

Wow. I thought you guys were anglophone...

- Trolling, 9 January 2010

I totally agree with you but unfortunately, there is a lot of British contamination these days...this stupid non-metric mess has already caused NASA to lose two spacecrafts sent to Mars...about $350 million dollars lost!

- Jorge Brown Segui-Gold Coast/Australia, 10 January 2010

I think i just adds to the swedish setting. Its not that difficult to translate

- cin, 9 February 2010

On a big scale, just breath.

- RIP., 14 May 2010

Are you leaving in the US???

- groing, 26 June 2010

In Brazil the book came with the metric system @_@

STIEG LARSSON, 1954-2004

Before his career as a writer, Stieg Larsson was mostly known for his struggle against racism and right-wing extremism.

In 1995, when 8 persons were killed by neo-Nazis I Sweden, he was the main force behind the founding of the Expo-foundation, a group intended on exposing neo-Nazi activity in Sweden. From 1999 and on, he was appointed chief editor of the magazine Expo.

During the last 15 years of his life, he and his life companion Eva Gabrielsson lived under constant threat from right-wing violence.
