I'm about to start this trilogy. Is it good? Overrated?
too swedish for me

If you can get past the Swedish as fuck/unnecessary feminist bents then I declare it one of the most enjoyable reads I've ever had
>>9804429
The first is a fun read. The other two are utter shit.

TGWTDT is a good read with some twists and turns and is a solid mystery novel, but the next two feel more like action movies and less of a mystery series. It's like the first novel is an independent story, and the second and third novel are very intertwined.

also the one character that only drinks tullamore dew or some shit. one of the lamest lines in a novel ever
I read the first book. It was extremely meh
>>9804429
Yeah, first one is decent. Even if you do hate Swedish feminazism it's captivating at time, the second one is so similair that you can predict the outcome of everything pages ahed, and therefore unneeded.
Stieg was the definition of turgid prose. I'm glad he's dead, but I wish that would stop him from putting out more books.

How accurate is this description: TGWTDT takes place in an alternate reality Sweden where the rape of women is mainly perpetrated by a shadowy cabal of straight white neo-Nazi capitalist fatcat men. Cool alternative girl with a dragon tattoo uses her smarts to outwit said neo-Nazi capitalist fatcats. She's accompanied by a well meaning but emotionally stunted white man who must struggle with his habit of mansplaning while cool alt hacker girl does the smart work and kicks Nazi rapist ass.
