Ok I've read the millennium trilogy, seen the Swedish versions of all three films including the extended cuts and the Hollywood version, so I was interested to see how the graphic novel adaptation was handled. Lisbeth Salander is probably one of the most intriguing heroines ever put down on paper...
Absolutely loved the book. When I saw that the three books been offered for sale at a flee market I could not believe it. I have missed the films, but what an opportunity to read all three books over the holiday period. This book gripped my from the start. The way this author has described the ma...
I confess to not having read the novel, and at this point, I'm not sure that I will. I tried to keep away from the story as long as I could, so that I could be surprised when I read the novel, but the hype around the movie sucked me in, and I saw it. So far, the graphic novel has drawn me in bett...
I have read this book, and listened to it on CD too. Loved both. But I am not real happy with this graphic-novel adaption.Let me begin by saying I certainly enjoyed the effort and talent that went into producing this book. The detail and quality of the artwork is certainly makes one aware of the ...
I thought it was just a gothic horror story and I enjoyed it up until that point that the mystery was solved. Then it became a gritty/dark mystery - a genre that I don't like. I wouldn't have read it if it was in graphic novel form. Sure everyone except the protagonist was unlikeable, but I thoug...
Overall, I thought the story was mean. All the characters, except for the narrator, were angry, jealous, full of "me" attitude. Only one character, the adopted son, showed any compassion, and, in the end, he is punished and becomes what the others were. It is a sad, angry story. Well written. End...
Paddy Keeps Rolling! - 4 Stars Paddy Meehan is one of the most entertaining characters I have encountered in a long time. On one hand, she is a little overweight and is self conscious while on the other she is spunky, quick witted and quick tempered. She is the only unbeliever in a staunchly c...
At first, I didn't like this book--found the protagonist Paddy to be sulky, petty, whiny, and unlikable. As the story went on, I started to think maybe I was warming up to her. She was earnest sometimes, she wasn't content with being a good Catholic housewife and found it offensive that her fianc...
Wow. Just wow. This is enough to make you use some silly acronym like WTF when you’re rather more someone who would just like to use the explicit phrase. It was all going so well, I was thinking Wow just wow in an awesome way & then I got to the literal last page of this book & my head kind of ex...
