The movie, that is. Haven’t read the book yet, but want to now more than ever!
Steig Larsson has been making the book blog rounds for awhile now and I was so intrigued, I added him to my TBR list. I’ve heard good things about his books, I’ve also heard they’re a tad odd, but I like odd, so he was a natural to add to my books I wanna read list. This weekend I finally watched the Swedish movie adaptation of his first book, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and have to say I loved it. I loved, loved, LOVED it. I was riveted to the screen, the story was so good. And now I want to read the book all the more!!!
If you haven’t seen the movie, do. Don’t wait for the flashy Hollywood version (albeit with Stellan Skarsgard and Christopher Plummer), as the Swedish version rocks! Yes, it’s subtitled, but I was so drawn into the story that soon I didn’t realize I was reading subtitles.
Apparently all three books were made into movies at once in Sweden, with the same cast, etc., like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so I’m now dying to watch the next movie installment – The Girl Who Played with Fire.
Book reviews will be up one of these years when I finally get around to reading the books, but in the meantime, the movies are there to enjoy so go out and watch’em!
Till next time,
