The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[Clippy]

The trailer for the Hollywood movie of the book has been released.

Worth reading the book(s) before watching this or just dive in with the David Fincher movie when it is released?

The 1st two of the book trilogy are good, the 2nd being the best, the 3rd is quite turgid.
Not sure Hoolywoood can better the native DVDs.

WHS - Unremitting gloom, seemingly for the sake of it.

I gave up after half an hour.

I found the 3rd book rather hard work, but I did finish it in the end.

The books aren't as good as the hype would suggest. If you want to read a 1,900-page feminist rant illustrated with characters who spend most of their time drinking coffee and humping each other, then by all means give it a shot.

Well that's clearly a matter of opinion. I found the 3rd book just fine, in fact I think I enjoyed it more than the 2nd.

I suspect I read a different edition from you.

I found them very good after the slow start, he didn't quite get the beginnings right.

The original movies are in fact three hour each Swedish TV series' edited down. I've downloaded them to watch them after watching the movies but there's no subbies, only subbies for the 'edited down for the movie' version. Luckily you can kind of keep up remembering the movie and filling in the gaps with a bit of nous.

Books are a bit tugid, going off at all sorts of tangents, but as is normal, still better than the movies/TV series.

First one is best, second one rubbish and third one better. That goes for books/movies and telly series.

WSGS. Read the books at the same time I saw the subtitled films.
