2.0 out of 5 stars An afterthought, May 23 2012
Wow, after reading the first four books in this series and loving them, I couldn't wait until August 2012 for the paperback of this one to come out so I bought the hardcover edition. I dove into it as soon as I finished book four and I must say, I am severely disappointed.

The book is, at best, disjointed, and, at worst, does not finalize several people's stories. I kept coming upon people I'd rarely, if ever, heard of in the other books.

I would certainly recommend this one to anyone who wants a good laugh.

I actually watched all three movies before I read the books, which is something I don't normally do. I don't like knowing the ending when I'm reading a suspense novel; however, a friend of mine recommended the books so highly and said they have so much more in them than the movie, I decided to read them anyway and I am so happy that I did.

Even if you've watched the Swedish movies or the one American version, read the book! It gives so much more background and detail than either of the movies. Once you've… Read more
