Dee’s comments from the Nordic Noir group.

i dunno...the standard reading period is 3 weeks, depends if there is anyone else in line to get it...but if someone has it requested then it can't be renewed, so hopefully soon

i got it on reserve, but the various libraries have like 10 copies and they are all checked out

welcome Jenny!

thanks for the review diane - it sounds interesting...adds it to the pile

yeppers ;)

we have 3 nominations and I just posted the poll - voting will be open until the 31st

the audiobooks of the wallander series aren't too bad - and I really loved Simon Vance who did the Larsson series (he is def. on my list of my listen narrators now)

i knew what you meant...I read fast, but because I have several books going at once - I tend to dedicate equal time to those - so while 1 book might normally take me a night if i'm reading it by itself, when i'm reading in conjunction with others, it might take a couple of days

Martha i'm the same...lol!

i've only read the first 2...the first one was ok, really liked the second one...naomi and I did a sorta buddy read/listen...which meant, she finished wayyy before me ;) I have the 3rd sitting in the pile

that makes him more "real" to me, for lack of a better word...

i also like, come to think of it, that the characters do fail...like in Faceless Killers...they don't solve the case for a while...unlike other books where it seems like the case is wrapped up in a number of days, usually with no problems

if not naomi - I got it and you can borrow after I read (its first up in september)

I have this one in print under its other name - Mercy (which I totally didn't realize...it came from the UK when I ordered it off amazon)

well, what do you expect when she has like 60 books going at once ;)

yeah, I guess ;) i'm sure you have some finnish actors you could see in the role as well

if you could pick an actor for Kari Vaara - who would you pick? out of curiosity

you know, i've been trying to think of any hollywood-ized actors to play Mikhail though...and can't think of anyone...could be worse...at least they didn't pick tom cruise ;)

its all about the money...Hollywood got in on it because they think it'll be a blockbuster with the popularity of the book and the majority of the US who read the books but won't see the swedish movies will go and see...as potentially crappy as it will be...

I just don't even see Mikhail in Daniel Craig - not even close!

I think we have a thread on Larrson - so throw that info up
