I know that this is probably a lot of cheating, like a lot a lot, but these two books covered everythingggg. Its most likely also cheating because I listened to both of these books on "tape". Why would I do such a thing like that? Because I found the first book (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) incredibly difficult to read. The books are translate from Swedish and I appreciate the time it must take to actually do that, but sometimes the sentence structure isn't always how I would like it to be. Any book usually takes me about 3-5 days (depending on how busy I am), but I remember book 1 taking me almost 3 weeks. These books aren't even that dense, on average 510 pages, but for some reason it takes me forever to read them. Hence me listening to the last 2 books in the series on tape (for the purpose of this blog I'm not counting the newly release fourth book because I have no intention of reading it).
I don't want to go to into detail because I'm sure at this point most people have read these books, know the general plot, or have seen all 3 of the Swedish language movies (which btw are nothing like the books). I really enjoy these books, if you get rid of the awful character voices of the narrator and the terrible sentence structure. They're a long read, but I definitely think that it's worth it. If you're into thrillers and aren't easily offended you will most likely enjoy these books. Fair warning though, these books are extremely graphic and a running theme throughout the series is violence towards women, including sexual violence.
As always read the books before the movies, but I would suggest the English language film first because it closely resembles book one. I hope that they make the next two books into a film because I enjoyed the American adaptation so much. I would also recommend these books if you're into that realistic mystery genre. Sometimes thrillers/mystery novels aren't always 100% realistic at certain points, but the Millennium series feels very realistic. Anybody can be a hacker these days and the sex slave trade is all too real in our world, so everything that Lisbeth does is extremely realistic. These aren't books I feel like spoiling or really rehashing my grievances because we could be here for days. Also my D key is sticking and it is making it extremely hard to type. That's all for now!
