I'd differ: I think he does examine everyday violence, and his serial killer is portrayed as worse than, but on the same scale as, the other 'men who hate women' in the novel. I'd also note that the novel at least begins to explore the inherent misogyny / violence of Swedish society.

Hard to tell with a translation whether the quality of the writing one reads mirrors the quality of the original. I didn't find the prose particularly offensive: it was functional. And the novel was well-paced.
