Am I the only one who doesn't really care for this book? So far, I'm not a huge fan, but I'm only 300 pages in. The violence is a bit much for me. Also, I find Salander's character annoying. She seems too pathetic, even despite her handywork with a tattoo kneedle. I'm not sure I like the way Larsson provides information in big gulps, as if he wants the reader to be aware he did his research so he puts it in in huge chunks. It's less elegant than I'd like. I'm also not a fan of how he seems to plug certain technology, like the ibook and software programs (like the data program he uses to keep the family tree straight). It's odd, but I feel like I'm reading an advertisement from time to time. With all of that said, I do think the plot is interesting. I want to know what happened to Harriet and such, so I'm dragging myself on through this, even though it doesn't seem like it moves as fast as others say it does. ::shrug::
