Millennium Saga

I have just finished the third of the Millennium Saga books... More than 1500 pages that had me breathless for weeks and now that it is finally over... I feel like crying... There won't be a fourth book!
In 2004, Stieg Larsson handed out the manuscripts to his editor and before they were even published, he died of a stroke! He was only 50 years old!
He left us, though, two characters that are now part of Literature mythology: Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander, such a fragile and also strong woman! You end up loving her...
The books also create a tremendous curiosity to go visit that modern, complicated, different Sweden. With the success of the Saga, in Europe there are new tours inviting fans to visit the key places where Larsson's characters live and move.
How can I describe the Millennium Saga to you with its three long books?
Well, it's a thriller, a dark novel but, above all, a romantic love story-
The movie version of the first book will premiere soon.
I'll tell you about it when I see it.
