catevari 's review for:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy
by Stieg Larsson
If Goodreads had half star ratings, I'd probably really give this a 3.5. I didn't know Larsson had died before the publication, but I could guess it from some of the sloppier writing moments (which shouldn't have changed even for the vagaries of translation). The prose is harder to judge for not being in its native language, but, in English, it's prosaic and workmanlike with far more telling than showing. OTOH, for it's flaws, Larsson tells an interesting, engrossing story that had me turning pages until the end, irritated at every interruption that kept me from it. The entertainment value far outweighed any nitpicks I might make.
