She actually made the book for me.<br /><br />I have the second one waiting...and I&#39;m looking forward to the movie, too.<br /><br />Thanks for your review.Creations by Laurel-Rain Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210963638584169221.post-43488698076248205282011-12-22T15:10:18.352-05:002011-12-22T15:10:18.352-05:00I read this book with my husband, aloud to each other, and we loved it. Then I saw the Swedish movie versions of the second and third installments with Sandy. They are incredible movies, and I second her comment that you need to rent them. I need to read the second and third book, because as I understand it, there are some parts that are more fleshed out in the books. Such a great review today, and I can&#39;t wait to hear what you think of the movies!<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you, Jenny! I hope that you have a wonderful day filled with good times with friends and family!Zibileehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210963638584169221.post-19439854513199031502011-12-22T14:06:40.376-05:002011-12-22T14:06:40.376-05:00If Lisbeth intrigues you, then the next books will be very satisfying!Jennershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210963638584169221.post-89003859674524371002011-12-22T10:34:12.259-05:002011-12-22T10:34:12.259-05:00I&#39;m with Sandy! This is a GREAT audio. If I hadn&#39;t listened to the books, I&#39;m not sure I would have stuck with them. The narrator kept me listening even when the book got a little slow and wordy.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06474584473012742915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210963638584169221.post-78132866853398633872011-12-22T09:55:31.116-05:002011-12-22T09:55:31.116-05:00Your remarks are interesting because I too had trouble explaining why I liked this book so much! (and I also had trouble with the beginning) And yet when I was done, I couldn&#39;t wait to go to the next one!rhapsodyinbookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210963638584169221.post-35542669950303569952011-12-22T09:34:40.969-05:002011-12-22T09:34:40.969-05:00I have one word to say to you...AUDIO. The most delightful Simon Vance narrates, and is helpful to get you through the dry patches, which are in each book. I just saw the US version of this at the movies Tuesday (see today&#39;s review) but I do prefer the Swedish versions. You must rent!Sandy Nawrothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210963638584169221.post-3779449191061798062011-12-22T03:01:32.625-05:002011-12-22T03:01:32.625-05:00We saw the Swedish version of all three books - they ran as a 6 part television series here last year, and they were wonderfully done, but rather violent and explicit - we sent our teenage kids up to bed on the nights it was on!<br /><br />I ended up not reading the last two books in the series because I had already seen the film by then and knew what happened - big mistake!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11660226121368987312noreply@blogger.com
