This was great to read and your verse excellent, not sure if I would have liked to have seen the film.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Love your poem.
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this Blogfest.
They are remaking this film here in America, but the Swedish version was really good. The actress who plays Salander is excellent in the role.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in our blogfest!
I've seen the original Swedish version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but not the other two. I want to watch them though because I like to compare them to the American versions, although they aren't out yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat... shot and left for dead? That can't be good! Still need to watch it, though. How's life?
ReplyDeleteI like the sequels a little better than the first book in the series. The first one had a very slow start. I've only seen the American version of the first film, but have heard good things about the other versions. Salander is such a great character.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great movie indeed and sure hit the carnage note and then some
ReplyDeleteit's on my list to see, in a pile that grows and I see it sit... staring at me.

Have yet to see any of them. On my list though
ReplyDeleteAn excellent choice for the B,B&C Blogfest!
ReplyDeleteShot and left for dead. That's terrible.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth is one smart, tough girl. She is the best part of those books, not the reporter guy.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I haven't read a good mystery in a long while.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I've read the first book, which I enjoyed. It definitely had a lot of sex and violence.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read any of these books in this series nor seen any of the movies. They've been popular so they must have something going for them.
