I am Swedish, but last weekend I read part of the English translation of The Girl... and I was shocked how "flat" it was. And it actually made me wonder how the English version book could have made it so big. (And it also made me wonder how much I lost out of in foreign language books translated to Swedish. A real eye opener!)
I absolutely loved the first book (in Swedish), but the other two books in the trilogy didn't excite me anywhere near as much.
(And in Sweden coffee is a really important part of our life. I'm not kidding! The book is accurate that way!)
