I'm as excited for the book as anyone else (yes, I'm still waiting on my copy to come in the mail - Amazon messed up), but this review just left a sour taste in my mouth before I'd even tried the main course. There is a comparison to Stieg Larson's characters and a mention of the 900-pager's potential to strain your arm. Well, if you've been hefting around such intellectual lights as "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," then, yes, this book might cause you to pull a muscle in your brain.
There was a time when I would look to NPR for advice on books, but this has been some time ago. Just read this review and see one of the many reasons why I've quit them.
