After finishing The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown I went into withdrawals. I started re-reading old books. Then I went online looking for something readers really liked. Steig Larsson's trilogy was high on almost all the lists I found.
I bought all three in hardcover for about half what the packaged deal was and I've been racing through them in the last couple of weeks.
The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo was pretty good. The Girl Who Played With Fire was great but here I was coming to the final pages and the action was still rolling. I'm asking myself, "How is he going to finish this with only a few pages left?!" The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest picked up right where the previous one left off. I'm about half way through with that and still enjoying it as much as the second book. I have to force myself to do other things or I'd be reading all day.
I did a little web search and found Sweden has already made movies of all three. Most who have seen them say the first is very good. The other two were made with a different director to save money, and it shows.
