“Everyone has secrets. It's just a matter of finding out what they are.” - Stieg Larsson
This is a tense, smart thriller with an ingenious plot. The main idea is to make the reader take a different look at asocial people and, on the whole, to give thought to how erroneous the first impressions of people are. The book literally describes every gloomy detail, the world of vice, the disturbed psyche and deformation of the human soul.
The author very slowly tells the reader his story, creating the effect of complete immersion in the smallest details. All characters are spelled with such precision that it seems that you see them and are always there. Almost all characters are ordinary people.
The finale of the novel is rather difficult, leaves a hint of bitterness and disappointment, but, of course, does not leave you indifferent. This book caused me a sea of emotions: from laughter and tenderness to disgust and hatred. Despite all the gloom and “heaviness” of the book, I wanted to read the rest of the trilogy.
