Frighteningly realistic! A good lesson in political moderation.

This book covers faith based on biblical Christianity, and relies heavily on “The Case for Christ” as a foundational premise. The chapter I found most helpful was “Objection #8: I Still Have Doubts, So I Can't Be a Christian”.

The first two of this series (“The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo”, and “The Girl Who Played with Fire”) were much more intense than this one, and were impossible to put down. This one was very slow for the first half of the book. And it had a rather anticlimactic ending. I rate the first two as fives, but this one only merits a four.
