Just finished it, and really enjoyed it as well. Some of the stuff was laugh out loud funny. I had the expectation that the Dad would be some neanderthal with no education, but he was actually quite the opposite. Definitely recommended.

Re: What are you reading? (June 2010)
For me I just finished another stack of Nero Wolfe novels I won't bother listing. Rex Stout's work was incredibly consistent throughout his writing career and no matter what decade you decide to grab a book from you are in for an enjoyable read.
Currently I'm also working on these:
Street Gang sounded like a book I would love, but Michael Davis is an extremely long winded and dry writer. I'm 6 chapters in and really haven't read much of interest. He spends too much time on back story of little interest and even when he hits on something good his writing style still makes it boring. I'll try and finish it, but I'm just not clicking with this author.
Not far enough in to comment too much, but seems very interesting. Nazi stuff always is.

Reading
Only about 200 pages in but this one seems to flow better than The Girl who Played with Fire. I like how all 3 books seem to deal with different issues within Swedish society. You do have to read the second book as this one is a continuation of that book.

It irritates me to spend 11.99 for a Kindle book, but I'm lacking in patience and really wanted to read it right now.

My wife has taken over my ereader to read a couple of my recommendations, so I have to put a hold on Greatest Trade Ever. I am about halfway through number 4 in the Elvis Cole series:
