the girl who played with fire
finished this one today. SO much better than the first. without the slightest inkling of a doubt. loved this book so much. I was on the edge of my seat. my jaw dropped. oh. i just wanna be lisbeth’s best friend in the whole world. I am fascinated by her.
also, saw the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo today in theaters. I thought it was very good. Different than what I pictured in my mind, and I felt that there was a lot left out. Then again, the movie was 2hr 38min. Not sure how he could have gotten more details in there. I love this series. I am starting the next one soon. Pumped about it.
woooo hooo! what did you think?
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I first opened this book. I heard about its popularity over the last few years and when the movie came out this December, that was the last straw. I started and finished it within the week. Christmas week, no less. This crime novel was meticulously plotted and it’s result was a masterpiece. I haven’t read the other two novels in the series yet, but I expect them to be just as wonderful. I will say that it was verrrry slow at times, but it makes up for the slow parts with the action in the rest of the book. Also- I thought about this book in my spare time. A lot.
I was fascinated by the girl with the dragon tattoo, Lisbeth Salander. I am so ready to see the film despite my apprehension about everything it might show. This book/movie is not for little eyes or ears. It’s graphic in every sense of the word. I won’t even lie about it, I had trouble sleeping last night. I kept picturing people attacking me. So mature, I know. My so-called irrational fears do not seem so irrational haha. Anyway, this book was great. I am not saying much about it because I feel like anything and everything that I say will spoil it. I give her four out of five stars.
So excited for the movie. It was directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club, Benjamin Button). I’ve heard this was his goriest movie yet. But honestly, you couldn’t make the movie without being gory. It wouldn’t be the same story. Excited to see it.
Note: Not for young ones. And I would consider thirteen… maybe even fourteen… young.
