I found the first couple of chapters a bit dry and off putting but then it gets into its stride.

The last fiction book I read was Child Of God by Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country For Old Men, The Road, All The Pretty Horses etc, to complete the set. An amazing writer. To have you rooting for a hillbilly necrophiliac serial killer takes some skill!

Stick with it. I nearly put it to one side too. Then it starts to get more flowing after about Chapter three, and it is almost like a different writer.
EDIT.....just to add that there has been some debate as to how much input the late author's long term partner had in his works.
This reminds me of Wuthering Heights. There has been much conjecture over the years that the first couple of chapters were not written by Emily Bronte but her brother Branwell, and that she carried on with the story when he went into decline.
Interesting, although I am not suggesting that Larsson didn't write the books as such (after all he was still alive when the Trilogy was given to the publisher), more that such rumours about the authorship of books are no different now to years ago.

Isn't this so much more civilised than 20-odd threads about twatting video games? Is it an age thing? Do young 'uns still read books?

LOL!! I agree.
The book thread on here is always like an oasis of calm and peace.
