REVIEW OF THE AUDIOBOOK PRODUCT
Simon Vance again keeps the story flowing, engaging and animated. There are, at one point, over eight active characters in this book (I can't spell any of the names because I'm listening to the book not reading it but here goes: Michael, Salander, Erika, The Freelance Journalist Writing The Sex Trade Expose Book, The Criminologist Writing the Sex Trade Expose Thesis, Mariam Wu, Salander's former Guardian who had a stroke, Salander's sicko current Guardian, Armanski, the paranoid blonde giant) and Simon Vance gives EACH character his or her on voice and the voice sound authentic. The female voices don't sound forced at all. Their pitch and their flow seems totally in line with the character. Vance is reading a book about Swedes in Swedish society in English and has decided to use English accents to delineate the characters (which is smart because I wouldn't know an "Uptown" Swedish accent from a "ghetto" Swedish accent but I can tell cockney from the King's English). Even Salander's stroke victim former guardian sounds totally authentic. I thought for sure Simon Vance doing a disabled person would sound forced but I was wrong.
The CDs when ripped to Itunes have only minor problems. The "Album" tag field for each CD is The Girl Who Played With Fire (DISC X), where X represents the CD number (1-15). So if you want your digital media player to recognize all 15 CDs as being part of the same compilation you have to erase the "(DISC X)" from all the tags and you have to mark the compilation box in all the tags. When you get above CD 10 sometimes the actual Artist Name is also The Girl Who Played With Fire instead of Steig Larsson. I'll come back later and review the actual book/story/writing/ when I'm finished listening.
