Bowen's books are a nice, light read. But not great literature. Although they do stay with me. There is something in her writing that leaves an impression. Sometimes they are just a nice break from heavier stuff. Like Steig Larsson.!

I'm now halfway through The Girl Who Played With Fire. Very heavy stuff. I can see why this one wasn't as popular as the first. The first 100 pages was all about personal sex between the characters. That does not interest me at all. I do enjoy a bit of erotica but this was just too much about people's private lives. Salander's experience is, of course, crucial to the plot, but the others just felt like page-filler.

At long last, though, I'm at the who dunnit part. I am intrigued. I'll keep reading.

Greetings and thanks, scarletwoman, for your post to give us readers a chance to speak.
