I finally finished it!! I have such a stack on my nightstand….

It opened strong, but then got bogged down a bit with the backstory on so many of the bad guys involved.

Then IT ROCKED!!! I really liked a lot, PCN. Thanks for turning me on the series.

Um, how long have you had GwtDT on your table, Shell?

Thanks for the heads-up, PCN! Calendars are marked to BOLO for the next two films.

We hardly ever go to see movies in the theater any more because we’re so frequently disappointed. How refreshing it was to walk out of the theater with both of us buzzing about the movie. Awesome is right, Brett!

Thanks, PCN! I’m in the same boat as le0pard13 ~ I have GWTDT on my bedside table, and it’s next in line. I suspect by the time I’m finished reading the trilogy, US versions of all three movies will already be on DVD!

Oh, you have so much goodness ahead of you. When you start, let me know so I can e-mail you every 2 days and discuss.

Hooray! I'm so glad you liked it, Christine. If you didn't, I would've had to disown you as a friend and then blocked you from this site. Now circle July 2 on your calendar as the release date for Fire (at least in some cities) and October 15 for Hornet's Nest!

What did I think about the movie? O…M…G! OUT-BLOODY-STANDING!!!!!!! I can’t remember the last time both Brian and I walked out of a theater and thought “Wow! THAT was a great film.” [It should be noted that Brian was skeptical going in because 1) how could they do justice to the book and 2) it’s subtitled. I believe I won some brownie points for taking him with me. ;-)] It’s been a while since we’ve read the book, but neither of us thought that there was anything of consequence missing in the screenplay.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Music Box Films for bringing this fantastic movie to us! Thanks also to you and Brett for your most excellent recommendation! I can’t wait to see Nyqvist and Rapace in The Girl Who Played with Fire!

Since I have not started the trilogy, I see I have a lot to look forward to. I’m sure I’ll end up in the place as you all when I finish it. Thanks for the great review, PCN.
