I think it's worth it. You should keep going

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

I think he's good at coming up with stories, bad at writing them.

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.
