review 1: The book looked very good for me but unfortunately I am disappointed. It is really too long, there is too many characters and the story is moving forward very slowly. 551 pages is too much for this story, half range would be enough and the story would remain interesting. But it i...

review 1: I chucked it in on page 202. If a story doesn´t interest you after 200 pages I feel it´s ok to do this. Too detective and no sign of mystery, perhaps that´s what bored me the most. I expect something different probably. I don´t like just detective stories. With this book I made a...

review 1: A bit disapponting... Too many details on police procedure, while I expected it would be more relevant on Olof Palme's life and death. I was also surprised to find out that Palme wasn't so popular at the time of his death in his home country. Here, in Greece he is considered a no...

review 1: Strange but gripping, spans 1975-2000 and events in between. It's a bit confusing in that the characters appears in his other novels too, at different stage in their careers: if you've read any of his other works you will recognise them, but it's difficult trying to remember what...

review 1: I really wanted to rate Free Falling As If in a Dream, the final volume in the Story of a Crime Trilogy, to which I would give 4 stars, but could not find the English translation on Goodreads. The crime is the unsolved assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986. ...

review 1: Mostly I enjoyed this book. Persson writes very well though the time line can be confusing. He goes back and forth between different times and you find yourself fliping back to remind yourself of the people involved. The plot is very interesting as are the characters. I like his ...
