was streaming on Netflix. I kind of wanted to see the movie but knowing there was a book felt compelled to read it frist.So after reading it...I have no idea how it got popular. To clarify...I liked it. I'm just surprised that such a slow passed split personality style book is a worldwide phenom. I don't ever want to read Twilight...but I can at least understand the appeal of it. I don't understand the appeal of bad writting but if it's vampires I guess.
I ended up pretending this was a sci-fi book because otherwise I would drown in all of the names, currency, political, and geographicaly stuff I had no reference too. The girl is only in 10% of th first 300 pages and in that something bad happens to her...and then something really really bad happens to her. She is a compelling character and her attempts to connect and become more human is really interesting.
So after I read it I immediatly watched the movie version. It was eh. I guess I should have waiting a while. As I was reading the book pretty much could tell what was going to be included. It mainly focuses on the 40 year old mystery. However I think left a lot of Salander's attempts for for normal human existance out. This is a woman how has to remind herself that actions have consequences. It's as if her original guardian had to install Terminator logic inter her so she could better deal with others. And as long as I'm nit picking mikael should never have made a big deal about her being hacker. One of their important moments in the book was the fact that he didn't use the power over her and in dropped it altogether.
