I have several on my TBR shelves, so there's no excuse, except for the lack of time. I just can't get to all the books that call my name.

I also find the character of Harry Hole intriguing but I didn't "like" him.<br /><br />Part of the charm of the book, for me, was an unlikeable hero whose life is a total mess by his own doing. Yet he is so good at what he does (solve crimes) that they actually let him stay on the job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-52988185312985320542011-02-24T03:46:36.283-05:002011-02-24T03:46:36.283-05:00Great that you liked it!

I just finished it, and haven't reviewed it because there's so much in it and I don't quite know what to say that won't make it sound like I've forgotten how to analyze a book!<br /><br />By the way, I think Redbreast comes first, because that's where we meet Ellen and Tom Waaler and what happens to her - it made me cry.
