I have been hearing about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo everywhere and have seen the books in stores. But I didn’t take notice until I read the post on Copyblogger. Now I really want to read the book before the movie comes out.

This movie (I believe) is in Swedish, but there is an English version in production, scheduled for release next year.

After reading this post and checking out the trailer, I’ve definitely become interested!
Should I read the book first??

I read the book this summer after lots of prodding from friends who had loved it. I felt the same about getting into it, but now I’m like a mad woman about the whole series. I even had my mom mail a copy of the 3rd book from the UK so I could read it sooner! Can’t wait to see the movie!

@Øydis Thanks so much for the reviews, it will be interesting to see what happens when/if they remake into an English version, which I hear rumors about. I think the Swedish casting looks perfect though. I will email you about my header. And I DID check out your blog a few days ago when you left your initial comment, even though I don’t read Norwegian I don’t need it to see how adorable your kids are!

@Julie, we have talked about going to the Nordics many times, my husband went there as a teenager and has fond memories, it is definitely on the list to hit.

@Kristin, I have to admit my hubby went on a biz trip right after I read and I freaked myself out plenty, slept with a Mag flashlight while he was gone, but then again, that’s just me….

The books are far better than all the three movies; we saw the third and last movie yesterday. But the movies are good, with especially good casting.

Of the three books, I thought no 2 was the best one. I actually forgot to get off at my train stop because I was reading so intencely! ;o)

The orginial title of the book is “Men who hate women”, but I actually think the English title is way better.

The story about Stieg Larsson is that he witness some class mates rape a girl when he was a teenager, but he didn’t intervene. He later talked with the girl, who said that she hated him as much as the guys who did it. After that he became a fighter for women’s rights; which we can see in these excellent books.
