I had the same thought re: Twilight handling the mundanity better. (Also, while i suspect it was an accident, the mundanity comntributed to Twilight's worldbuilding. Here, it's just "OMG GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!") Uhm...I also think Blonkvist is a Stu on levels that Bella can only dream of. There was a point where I was wondering if there would be a single important female character who wasn't in love with and having sex with him. (I think there were 4, and 1 was his sister, one a lesbian, and one died fairly quickly. Leaving a much younger employee, who was also possibly the least used major character.)

Also, while I do believe that his goal was to make people aware of how real systemati abuse of women continues to be, it's sunk so deeply into the male gaze that there's an extreme Othering of women throughout, even when it's from an ostensibly female POV, and he seems to have this "well, feminism is a great idea and all, but these feminists are really just too much": attitude.
