I've read so much (too much i think sometimes) of the Scandinavian crime novels that Larsson trilogy didn't give me any big feelings. Definately not bad.
Of my favorites i've liked early Mankells and GW Persson from Sweden, Tuomainen, Kilpi and Harjunpää from Finland and Arnaldur from Iceland. Of course Nesbø from Norway and Mäki from Finland although they write bit different crime level than those mentioned (more action).
Larsson is surely worth reading. Very typical (i mean the positive way) Scandinavian crime writer he was with some personal extra.
Been lazy trying to find out who were the writers behind the TV serie Broen, but i surely liked to read few books from the same person. That was the best crime serier for years imho. Sorry off topic.
Edit: i would like to know as well who were the writers behind Solsidan (hilarious) and Hubots (scifi).
Both were so great. Solsidan is so incorrect in any possible way and it's always so great to laugh at Swedes (sorry Swedes!). Hubots was just very different and exciting. Sorry off topic #2.Last edited by Sailor; 07-08-2014 at 08:02 PM.
