For those who have been reading Steig Larrson's Millenium triology, the last novel is out.

Girl Who Kicked Over a Hornets Nest.

Ive already 100+ pages into it and instantly hooked as the other 2 have done, in fact I think it is better written than the 2nd book that could and did meander a bit at times.

Im hoping that the King of Kings Paulo Roberto will make a return, he was a great cameo in the last one.

Coincidence, I'm reading no.1 (girl with the dragon tattoo)now after reading no.2 first by mistake. You're right they are hard to put down.
I like all the references to places in Stockholm, I work there a lot and know them quite well. I wonder what the Swedes make of it though, the picture he paints of the Swedish police and corruption is not very complimentary.

I think these books are well written and well balanced. The great thing about them though is they are simply a cracking yarn. They were as standalone books and as across the arc. What combines them is this aspect of them all being cracking yarns and the arc being a cracking yarn.

It is if you will, the difference between these books and the Dan Browns Langford trilogy. Of those only DVC is actually a cracking ripping yarn ... and lets not kid ourselves here, DVC IS a cracking yarn...the other 2 are merely so so. These 3 are all simply good tales and combine to work well as 1 good big tale.
