Book actually starts out slow but picks up crazy somewhere soon after 100 in case ur interested...
And the book was dope, swedish movie I didn't like too much and i'm assuming I won't be a huge fan of this one. Will check it out though, hope it's good

Will post some thoughts in a bit, just didn't want to dig through the search fields again.

The "review" I posted in S&T...
Just came back from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In short, and I hate giving these out, but it was a 7/10 for me.

Spoiler [+]
Went into the film completely cold (no knowledge of the original film and novel) so I'm judging this in a vacuum. Fincher's direction was solid, but I never got the feeling he put his stamp on the film. Not that he did a bad job, but if you watch his most recent work, The Social Network of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, there's a certain flair in those films, opposed to this one. It's pretty straight forward. The detective story was interesting, but I really didn't get drawn in. The gravity of the girl's death really didn't matter to me, and I just kept waiting for Mara and Craig's arc to collide. On that note, I loved Mara's performance and the character of Salander. From a story standpoint, even though the end was appropriate, the last 10-15 minutes as a whole was unnecessary IMO. I understood the reason in tying up the loose ends, but it just dragged after the climax. BTW, what was the target audience for the novel? I'm just wondering because I saw some youngsters in the audience, and the abundance of sex and nudity was absurd.
