dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

i have never seen the movies nor did i really have any idea what the book was about yet i picked it up at the used bookstore for $3.50 anyway. and it totally whipped ass so a good decision on my part i think. 

gotta say that while the english “the girl who…” titles for this series are certainly snappy and memorable the swedish “män som hatar kvinnor” aka “men who hate women” is. well. much more accurate to this book as a whole innit?

(also. should a book about violence against women in the country have made me miss sweden this much?)
