As you can see by the books by the bed I am reading the last of this trilogy. This series is great. My mom had the first one and passed it along to me - she didn't care for it very much - I on the other hand thought it was great - I could not put it down. The primary characters in the series are Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. Lisbeth is an intelligent, eccentric woman in her twenties with a photographic memory whose social skills are rather poor. Blomkvist is an investigative journalist, a celebrity in his own right, and has a history not totally dissimilar to Larsson's own. In the first one they solve a mystery. I don't want to tell you too much but you should definitely read it. When I was on the cape I finished the first one and got the second one. I finished that one today and got the third one today also. At his death, Larsson left behind manuscripts of three completed but unpublished novels in a series. He wrote them for his own pleasure after returning home from his job in the evening, making no attempt to get them published until shortly before his death. Larsson left about three quarters of a fourth novel on a notebook computer, now possessed by his partner, Eva Gabrielsson; synopses or manuscripts of the fifth and sixth in the series, which he intended to contain an eventual total of ten books, may also exist.
You should definitely give it a read!!
