Stieg Larsson
I am shocked; it is of cause always a disaster when someone dies. However I just realised that Stieg Larson was born one year later than me (meaning still relatively young)
I just read Stieg Larson’s firs book “Mænd der hader kvinder” or in English “men who hade women”. I found the story extremely fascinating, because it is not only a very good story but it reflect the society we are living in (I am Danish) in Europek, and I guess the whole world. I now started to read Stiegs second book “Pigen der legede med ilden” or in English “ The girl playing with the fire”.
I am simply fascinated the way Stieg manage to combine a good story and at the same time succeed to address the readers mind in reconsidering,
• Are we living in a democracy
• Who decides what
• Etc.
I could continue this praise of Stieg. However, I am very sorry to understand that again a very intelligent defender of human rights died before time.

Since I'm Swedish I have had the pleasure to read all three books and I can tell you englishmen, it's worth waiting for. I' starting to re-read the three books this summer in vacation. Best books in a long time.

Calling all translators and publishing houses - please don't make me wait until 2009/ 10 to translate and publish these novels. I might not live that long - I am seriously considering learning swedish just so I can read them. People get your acts together!! It is truly appalling that we have to wait this long for non English writers to have their work published in the UK

I can't believe that in liberal Sweden this was allowed! 32 years is a long time to share someone's life - there must be people (lawyers) who can help her surely??
I am also thinking that Stieg would have known what his own family was like; he should have made provisions - a will, perhaps? Surely Stieg couldn't have been so insensitive, when he writes with such passion.

Just finished the last book on Sunday. Already in withdrawal and missing all those fantastic characters. I was captivated non-stop through the whole trilogy, what an amazing story teller Mr. Larsson was! Crime novels with such deep content are too rare. Thanks for the ride!!

Behind the success of Stieg Larsson's books are a great author with an extraordinary life, a caring father who early on supported his writingand a women who shared is life without being married. According to Swedish law his father and brother inherited the rights to his work. It is a tragedy for his woman who widely exposes her stage of denial, but not a betrayal.

hello, I am a late reader of these novels, half way thru no3, lo ving every minute. Iwondered if there are other novels of this calibre you would recommend. I thought as you are a bookstore operater, you would be in the know. I am dreading finishing this awesome read as I will go into withdrawals!! find libraries useless when it comes to recommendations and usually end up with some dismal failure to read. cheeers helen

I've read Larsson's books in Danish, and at the moment I'm half way through "Luftkastellet der blev sprængt" (which is my favourite) for the third time. I'm 17 and have been reading the books since they were published in DK, and I'm disappointed every time I learn that people of my age don't know or don't seem to care about the books. It's shocking. Larsson was an amazing writer, and the books are some of the most thrilling, entertaining and fascinating I've ever read. And I was totally incredulous when I realised that Larsson's live-in partner didn't inherit the money and the rights for his works! It's outrageous.
And finally: I really hope the movies will capture the spirit of the books. I'm so happy they'll be done in Sweden - Hollywood has a tendency to ruin those things.
