After Listening to Parts of The Girl Who Beat a Dead Horse Trilogy on Tape

After listening to parts of The Girl Who Beat a Dead Horse trilogy on tape (also known as the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson), I decided it sounds too much like a leftist revenge fantasy. Not merely leftist, but Stalinist. (If you betray the Great People's Socialist Revolution comrade, we will depict you as a sadistic pervert and anybody who comes to your aid as downright fascist.)

Does this mean I have to read it to be sure?
