Mumsnet Talk

Just received my pre-ordered copy on Saturday. Anyone else got it and read it (impressed) yet?

Am dying to get started, but worried that life will be put on hold when I do!!

That's the second one isn't it? not read it yet. the girl witht he dragon tattoo was very good though.

no it's the third one. i'm determined to hold out until it's in paperback.

I've ordered mine from Amazon so should be here any day now.
I just finished the first and second and loved them.

Eccentrica you can buy it on Amazon in paperback, for the same price as the hardback.
I paid £8.99 for the hardback.

Actually the paperback is more expensive than the hardback, which has gone up by 50p since I ordered mine.

oh dear. shouldn't have told me that. i'll need to buy it now.

I have read this book, I thought it was great. I loved the first two, and this one is just as good (maybe better).

That was quick. Its only been out for 6 days.

It came out last thursday, so I bought it that evening, and read it in the evenings. I finished it on Saturday night, I ended up staying up late to finish it, but I couldnt wait to find out how it ended .

Waterstone's have it on offer at the mo. - quite cheap for hardback in memory serves me right...... Unfortunately with my little ds who has silent reflux at the mo I am not getting much time to read, but really looking forward to getting stuck in soon :O)

It was £10 in Tesco.

What (without giving anything away) is the story about this time?
I was a bit at the way book 2 ended. I thought there would be at least another chapter.

Bought it yesterday, about half way through now. 'Tis very good. Story so far is about the aftermath of what happened in book 2.

Have just started the second book - but have quite a few friends who have read all 3 and apparently the 3rd book finishes off the second book?

Wish his partner would release the 4th book for publication...

There's a fourth book? Finished?

I don't think it is finished.

His girlfriend has it and there is a big dispute (because of the will) and she is refusing to let it be published (or something like that - can't remember the details )

According to wiki - he also left the synopsis for the 5th and 6th books and had planned 10 in all. (Wiki also says that the manuscript for the 4th is unfinished)

Oh what a shame he died before he got a chance to write them. I'd have been happy to read all 10 I'm sure.

I have got it and am a few chapters in

Does is pick up where the last one finished?

yes, very much so. I half wished I'd read the last chapter of the book before (to refresh my memory!) but it's all come back to me anyway

Brilliant - couldn't put it down. Going to start it again now for a second time as it is so packed full I'm sure I missed bits!

Mine arrived from Amazon today. My Mum is Swedish and I think read it a while ago but hasn't revealed the ending. She's also read the very last Wallandar which was published in Sweden last month. Thing is - I'm supposed to be reading the Sarah Waters one for the MN Book group - so have a lot of reading to look forward to.

The review of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's nest in the The Times described Salander as a grown up and seriously abused version of Pippi Longstocking...

oh I love Wallander

have really missed having new ones of those to read
