as far as the Millennium books go....i think they are quite good for what they are.....i do think the author very much goes off on Swedish economics and sociopolitical problems....and gets a bit winded at times....but the story and plot is there and really shines....the 1st book was good, the second actually floored me.....as Paloma said...it really gets going....and even better it leaves a real sour taste in your mouth that only has one cure....the 3rd book....which i'm up to chapter four as of now but am finding to be quite interesting

edit.....god damn the Swedish LOVE coffee....i swear every 6 sentences someone is getting another coffee

Reading The Book of Tobit, definitely should have made it into the Bible, it's far better written and much more interesting than most of what's in there.

I've finished the 1st book, it's great so far. Unfortunately I don't think it has been translated so unless you read Polish, it might be a challenge

The story takes place in a world similar, yet significantly different from ours. North of Europe has never been Christianized and the last 1000 or so years were full of crusades and religious wars, as Scandinavian countries never abandoned their beliefs, if anything they consolidated them under Christian pressure.
Now it's 1940 and one Jeremy Baldwin, a British journalist sent by the London Times to Sudan to write about a religious uprising of muslims against the British that is taking place there. While at it, he discovers traces of a much bigger plot, one that takes him (so far) to some Scandinavian colonies, the UK and Ireland. Book one ends just days before the **** hits the fan, I can't really tell how it will end

Especially since the plot twists really surprised me.
All in all I was expecting something rather silly but pleasant, got a legitimate novel that is both entertaining and often surprising.
