I've decided not my cuppa tea about half way in. Back to the library with it.

What didn't I like? Pacing for one. It feels really slow. The other is that while I do give a damn about Blomvkist (did I spell that right?) I don't feel like I have time to read this to get to the pay off. Salander (the girl with the tattoo) is interesting, and I swear she's a Mary Sue, or designed to be the geek sex interest. And while she's apparently got some trauma (I looked things up on the web), she feels a bit like a bullet - slick and not a lot of protrusions to hold onto.
