poliphiloA very big book in which very little happens. A not very interesting conspiracy is invesigated by a host of not very interesting policemen and PIs. Lisbeth Salander- Larsson's most (only?) interesting character spends about 500 pages in hospital. When she perks up so does the action.

i listened to the audio book
Date: 2012-08-25 03:00 pm (UTC)I almost did the shortened one by mistake
what would they leaveout?
verses what i'd leave out could be interestign now
but not worth the effort.
i liked the history part,
I loved the old man,
i liked the girl, and journalist.
i did not like her guardian or the relatives.
It was interesting the first time if dry.
the 2nd book i found torturous
i did not get past the 2nd cd.
the books are the guys swan songs before rebirthing.
i've yet to try watching the movie
guessing they should be like la fem nikita-
where i loved the european version
and the america was meh.
wonder if there;s more written about sweden out there..

Date: 2012-08-25 06:46 pm (UTC)I'd like to see the movies. The Swedish originals by preference.
The Wallander books are supposed to be pretty good. I know them from the BBC film versions with Kenneth Branagh.
