inconceivably

Stieg Larsson was so passionate about the things he wrote about, his entire belief system is laid out for the world to see. What a shame he isn't here to see the success of his "magnum opus." It makes me really sad to think about.This is quite a book. It demands a lot of its readers. You have to be able to deal with some financial talk, and you have to be patient. The story is not a powerhouse thrilling story that catapults you through the pages. Instead, it puts down countless layers of suspense, and then begins to weave them together. I was never for a second put off by any of the financial jargon, I thought it was very interesting. It is, after all, one of the layers of this pretty much perfect story.I feel very emotionally drained after reading it. The Swedish title, "Men Who Hate Women" is apt. There were several things that were painful to read. Several times I started backing up, almost physically unable to keep reading. I cared a lot about this story, I feel so personally invested in it, I think at one point I was turning the pages half expecting to find myself an actual character in the story.I don't want to delve into any of the specifics, the brilliance of the story is having no idea what is coming. Let me just say...its brilliant.
