extremely

My comment:

I would need more context to tell precisely, however I think extremely is the correct word.

massive

My comment:

If what you're looking for is something appropriete to today's youth slang, then go for MASSIVE or WICKED. Otherwise, try any expression that suggests VERY LARGE such as EXTREMELY or COLOSSALY or maybe SMASHINGLY. Even SUPER wouldn't be inappropriate.

Extremely, awfully, very

My comment:

It is an adjective to make it more than just interesting. It's extremely / awfully / very interesting. "Mordsmässig" fits to the crime nature of the text : )
