The Man Who Left Too Soon


This book The Man Who Left Too Soon - The Biography of Stieg Larsson by Barry Forshaw is of little value as a "biography". Most of the book is a forensically detailed review of each of the Girl Who ..... books of the Millenium triology. There is some information about Larsson's life and his untimely death aged 50 and the subsequent dispute about his literary and financial legacy. Forshaw also tells us about other notable Scandinavian crime writers and what other crime writers think of Larsson's books. Basically, this is a "let's make some money out of Stieg Larsson" book. 2/5
