The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...

Anyone read this book? I read it on the HM and now I am onto The Girl who played with Fire and OMG I love it. Totally not the type of book I would usually buy but I love reading and getting to a part where I'm like "Holy crap!" lol

  • Haven't yet!  My younger sister keeps harping on me to try it, and with the goal I've set for this year I think I'm going to have to put it on the list!

  • I love that series!  I'm on the third one...

    I also highly recommend the movies (the Swedish ones, not the new American one, which I have a feeling may not capture the books as well).  I've watched the first two.  The third is in the theater now.

    you should! I am flying through them because I can't wait to read more

    I want to finish all the books before I watch the movies. It's ok with the subtitles even?

    Oh definitely.  I saw the first in the theater and the second on DVD, and DVD was fine (I might not make it to see the third in the theater since I haven't read that one yet).  I noticed you can actually watch the DVD "dubbed" or subtitled.  I prefer subtitles to dubbing, but you could just go with dubbing.  They're very fast-paced, and the dialogue isn't that much.

  • I've tried reading GwDT like 3 times, and I just cannot get into it.  I think I've finally given up for real. :(
  • I've heard so many good things about this series, I have them on my nook waiting to be read. I was trying to read all the Sookie Stackhouse books first. Nothing like a mindless read to end the day!

    For almost the first half of GwDT I was not too into it, but it was all I had on the HM (bought it at the airport because I had forgot to buy one earlier), so I kept reading and then it got REALLY good. The second one I liked right away but would probably not be able to piece it together right away had I not read #1

    I love all of those books.  I think I read the whole series (which was 7 or 8 books at the time) in like a week or so.  Such quick, mindless reads :)

    Definitely! I even bought the first season of the show on DVD when I saw it on sale at Best Buy...I am totally sucked in!

  • Love the book.  Love the series.  I read all three in like 3 weeks I was addicted to them and weird enough sad when I got done with them since I knew there won't be anymore of them (the author died while writing the 4th in the series).  The 3rd one starts out real slow making me wonder why I needed to read some of the background on the Swedish secret police etc but it definitely ties up nicely at the end.
