Richardson's Greywalker books are fascinating. Just enough horror to fit in “urban fantasy”, while coming down firmly on the side of spooky instead of gory. I appreciate that while her protagonist has relationships, unlike Sookie, her relationships do not dominate her personality.
I was disappointed in this book. It felt, in the end, like a much longer novel that hadn't been completed.
Highly readable, much talked about. Larsson set out to show men who hated women getting their comeuppance, so there's some very gratuitous scenes of violence to make his point. However, it disturbs me greatly that his idea of the opposite of “hating women” is Blomkvist, a serial womanizer with trouble keeping his pants on. I would have much preferred someone who appreciated the women in his life, respected them, and didn't see them as sex toys first.
