Spunky heroine overcomes deficits and with help of doughty nice guy takes on highly placed utter villains and wins. Though it looks pretty tough there for a while.
What's not to love? Maybe breast-implant fetishism, I gather.
I have a post on this article too. Fascinates me but not enough to read more than the first one. Great female character, not such a great plot and too much torture.
I know I'm going to sound like a snob, but to me it's the Dan Brown syndrome. I just couldn't get into THE DA VINCI CODE because everyone and his brother was reading it--and I feel the same way about these books. My husband was recently in D.C. on a business trip and when he got home he asked, "What's the deal with those Stieg Larsson books. Everyone, and I mean everyone, on the Metro was reading them."

Read one. Liked most of it. Still not sure why the world has gone nuts.

It may be a little harsh. I pretty much agree with Patti here.
Liked the first one, partly because I do like historical investigations, and gave up after that.
