Hi Anders and Borge,
Three Seconds was one of the best books I've read in a long time and being part of the First Look book club made it very special. To read a book that is filled with such complex subject matter and to be able to discuss it in depth as you are reading it, gives even more meaning and a clearer understanding of the story versus reading it alone. Between all of us participants, we've come up with every conceivable point of view. Thank you for writing such a well-written, intense book, a book that possessed me from the very beginning and is still holding me hostage...until the sequel lets me know how Piet, Zofia and the boys are doing, and what's up with Wilson. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I do have to confess, though. I had an index card with everyone's name and title with me at all times.
The other things I wanted to mention was that I liked the use of the italics for repetition of thoughts. To me it made the characters so much more alive.
Also, even though Gren and Agestam possessed no love for each other, both being conscientious and dedicated workers, put their feelings aside to solve the case. We just have to find out if Gren ever reveals Piet's status.
