A friend at work had told me a little about this book and at the time I wasn't interested. I've been stuck on a mostly science fiction with a dash of fantasy and horror for my reading diet for a long time. Plus, I've had bad experiences with books that have been translated from other languages. I'm REALLY glad I tried this one.
The start is a little slow, but don't be thrown off by it. It gives some of the background you'll need for the rest of the story. If you're bothered by names of places that mean nothing to you find a map of Sweden or Google some of the places the book takes place in. This book is well worth the extra effort.
The characters are extremely well written and I felt connected to them right away. The plot sucks you in almost immediately and has very few slow spots. There's a reason this book is a best seller.
