I rate the trilogy very highly. I read a lot of crime fiction, and often feel burned out. What I liked about Larsson was the wider view of a nation and its corruptions -- something that you see much more of in the later books. I liked Salander, so that made a difference for me.

There is, though, an issue with the translation of the first book in the trilogy. I *think* I'm right in saying that the translator wasn't happy with some of the changes made to his translation later on. I've read other stuff he's translated, and he's usually pretty reliable.

Swedish crime fiction, though, is never what you'd call sprightly and a laugh a minute *g*.
