The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Jens Lapidus' Easy Money.
Yet another 'next Stieg Larsson' contender/wannabe out of Scandinavia -- and, yes, the first novel in a trilogy -- US/UK publishers are again pretty late on the bandwagon with this 2006 novel -- though in fact they held on even longer than apparently initially planned: ready to go in 2011 (that's the copyright date in the US edition, too), it just came out recently -- apparently in the hope of getting some movie-tie-in action (yeah, good luck with that ...).
Probably the most interesting question raised by the trilogy is how they'll translate the title of the next installment, Aldrig fucka upp (and, yes, I think it's a safe bet that the publishers will somehow manage to, eh, fucka that upp (see also my next complaint); Peter Mendelsund's covers designs (scroll down) suggest Never Fukka Up (or rather -- don't get me started ... -- Nëver Fukka Üp) is being considered ... seriously ?).
