V-Licious discusses "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"!

Et Voila. My review of  The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ( It RHYMES!!!).

Ok, so you can all probably tell from my mid-read review that I was
totally into this book! So much so it made me step back and wonder if
perhaps I was a little TOO much into it. I mean, when you can't put a
book down that deals with violence against women, rape, murder and
animal cruelty, you can't help but self analyze. But the fact is, this
book is addictive. Larsson was a brilliant author who masterly crafted
his characters, to the point that you feel attached to them and become
protective, almost vengeful when something happens to them! It's a
rollercoaster of emotions.

And then, to add the cherry on top, we all watched the movie (I watched
it twice! See...I told you I was way too into it!). In my opinion the
movie did an impeccable job representing the book. Perhaps it was
because it was in Swedish (avec subtitles) and therefore stuck to the
original script versus going off into Hollywood production lala land.
Noomi Rapace plays Salander to the TEE. She is exactly how I pictured
her in the book! I must say they could have come up with a cuter
Blomkvist, but hey...you can't have it all! Needless to say, if you
haven't read this book, it's definitely safe to watch the movie. It does
it justice.

The book & movie had it all. Suspense, romance, violence, and most of al
intrigue! I love a book and movie that keeps me on the edge of my seat.

I'm currently half way through the Girl Who played with Fire and fully
intend on reading the Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest.

By far, the best book of our club to date in my opinion!

Yours,
