I am hooked. I am reading the second book in the Millennium series about Lisbeth Salander and I can't put the book down. It's unusual for me to read this type of book, but the book's characters are believable and the background that the author adds about his characters only makes it more interesting. The main characters have unique personalities, someone you wouldn't meet everyday. The vulnerabily of Lisbeth makes her more interesting. That most people are not drawn to her, that they find her 'weird' makes her character more sad. She is a loner, and not interested in what other people think of her, but we learn that she does care when she undergoes plastic surgery. The interesting mix of police, journalists, and detectives has the book standing on edge. The author has convincingly drawn the tension between the three entities well. What is being kept from each other, while the reader is privy to all three points of view, helps to create the tension. When will the police find out the real story, and what will they do with it? The story is well plotted. All three of Steig Larsson's books will make excellent movies, as proven by the release of the first. The videoes of the movie trailers can be viewed on utube.
