The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was hard to get into and then, when I finally finished, I didn’t like any of the characters. It’s one of those books (and apparently series) that has caught the attention of readers … and I can’t quite understand it. My book discussion group read Dragon and, in March, will be discussing Fire. I just could get into it. Tired of vigilante justice and badly written text (maybe it’s just the translation from Swedish to English) I put in my requisite 100 pages and then gladly returned it to the library. There has to be something better in that huge pile of books next to my bed!
Could not agree more! I decided early on that the translation was poor, but I did read it to the end to see what all the fuss was about. Do not understand it. So have not rushed out to read the next one either. There is so much better stuff out there to dive into.
