The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, originally uploaded by KarenSaraGaches.
I read this book over a year ago. I was quite intrigued, as I had spent time with one of my daughter Susannah's friends and her mother and both had been completely engrossed by this book. They both told me separately, that they had not been able to put it down. As I am a bookworm and devour books, I purchased a copy and was hooked and became inseparable from it until I had finished the final page. This is extremely dangerous when life beckons and there are many things that demand my attention. I then got hold of the second book, and put my name down to get the third on its release last September. They have been well read books, as I have passed them to different friends and work colleagues.
The film has just been released, and I went and saw it yesterday with a good friend. I usually hate seeing the film of a book when I have enjoyed, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. The film captures the main characters of Lisbeth Salander and Mikhail Blomkvist perfectly. The story is well told - nothing is left to the imagination - it is fairly brutal, so there were times when I was grabbing Amal's arm and closing my eyes, but I enjoyed it immensely. I am not going into details, as I don't want to spoil either the book or film for anyone. But if you enjoy a thriller, you will enjoy this.
I have to confess that I love thriller books and thriller movies. This often comes as a surprise to people who know me, but I am smitten. I have a secret life of interest in the underworld of crime at work also, as I write regularly about criminal cases that have gone to court and about the law generally on a blog for legal studies students. I am hoping that Keith will want to see it, despite not having read the book, so I can get to see it again. Am I mad or ?
