Stieg Larsson
Stieg Larsson (1954-2004) was a Swedish writer and journalist.
Prior to his sudden death of a heart attack in November 2004 he finished three detective novels in his trilogy "The Millenium-series" which were published posthumously; "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". Altogether, his trilogy has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide (summer of 2009), and he was the second bestselling author in the world 2008.
STIEG LARSSON, 1954-2004
Before his career as a writer, Stieg Larsson was mostly known for his struggle against racism and right-wing extremism. Starting in the late 1970's, he combined his work as a graphic designer with holding lectures on right-wing extremism for the Scotland Yard. During the following years he became an expert on the subject and has held many lectures as well as written many novels on the subject. In 1995, when 8 persons were killed by neo-Nazis I Sweden, he was the main force behind the founding of the Expo-foundation, a group intended on exposing neo-Nazi activity in Sweden. From 1999 and on, he was appointed chief editor of the magazine Expo.
During the last 15 years of his life, he and his life companion Eva Gabrielsson lived under constant threat from right-wing violence.
News: The first Movie-review, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
Rumors: Is there a 4th book? and will it ever be published?

Each time I had to stop reading, for whatever reason, I kept thinking about it for the rest of the time it took me to grab the book and start reading it again.
And when I finish the second one, I had to take a shower, put my clothes on and drive to the nearest store and get the third one.
I felt the pressure, the hapiness, the "job-done" feeling, the anxiety all his characters felt.
Too bad the triology was thought to be a 10 books history, and we'll never know what the author wated to happen with Lisbeth or Mickael or Erika, to name a few.
Still, it was worth it. I just love the way he used to write.

Just read the first book, it took 24 hours. I have not been this engrossed in a novel for so long, it was a rare pleasure. Thank you Stieg, you have left us with one of the most precious gifts a person can.

i've abandoned my friends, boyfriend, cleaning... after the first few pages i knew i was in trouble. every minture of my spare time has been devoted to Mr. Larsson's books. The third book took quite long. i decided to read few pages at a time knowing that soon it will be over.
i think it's time now to book a flight to Stockholm and have a stroll around the streets.
i would love to shake the author's hand.
i wish he was still among us.

I rarely read crime fiction, but was totally transfixed and mesmerized by the first book of the Millennium Trilogy. Now I can't wait to lay my hands on the second book and then the third. It is sad how such a talented writer had to die so untimely with so many people enjoying his works. I wish his family all the best and my heartfelt condolences with Stieg Larsson's sudden demise.

I could not put the first two books down: Although I have a problem with translations, as I grew up in a non-English speaking home and know how difficult it is to translate effectively, I still was enraptured by these two books. I would like the third book: when will it be available in the USA? Who is benefiting from the enormous profits from the Larsson publications? Thank you.

His father is benefiting, even if stieg broke up contact with him long time ago. the problem was (is) that stieg and his ladyfriend were not married (although i think 15 years together), so she has no rights on his publications or the millions made by him.

I have just finished the Millennium trilogy.For the last few chapters I had to ration myself to a few pages at a time, I knew that once I finished hornets nest ,That was it!!!Every one of the books in this trilogy had me engrossed,and hurtling toward the conclusion. I hope that the film does these books the justice they deserve I only hope that Stiegs Family are proud of what he achieved.I mourn the loss of this talent

Just finished '...Played with Fire' after having finished '...Dragon Tattoo'. Truly amazing! Honestly, they are the single best books I've read in nearly 20 years. I wholly enjoyed them. So captivating and so inspiring. Larsson leaves a legacy of such creativity, genius, and beauty with these novels.

Just finished HORNETS' NEST. Mourning the end of my Stieg Larsson addiction. A rarity that each book in the trilogy was stronger than the one preceding it. I am so happy to have had the joy of reading his work. I shall miss his voice.

There is a movie with English subtitles. I am seeing it on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Part of our NPR (KCRW)station's gift for subscribing at a certain level. We see about 10 movies a year, before they are released to the public.

These books were just so amazing. I am now half way with the 3rd book. Once I start I want dont to stop. I hope rumours are correcty and that there is a 4th or 5th or 6th book. Such a pity he did not live to see how well his books sold. I want the story to go on and on.

The books are just UNBELIEVABLE!!! I can't even sleep. It's terrible to have to stop in the night to sleep because next day you have to work. Because of that I recommend to start to read any of this books one Friday afternoon, and make sure you have everything at home to stay there the whole weekend. It's so sad that he left so soon. Every page I read makes me feel sadder because he's gone.
