Great Summer Reading

I highly recommend The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie and the book too. I stumbled onto this movie in a desperate search for entertainment on Netflix. After skipping over it I finally succumbed and watched it. AWESOME! Any way, it is a foreign film and so has subtitles. The story is so good that you will not notice the reading part. It is a murder mystery with some action kind of film. There will be an American version in a couple of years but why wait?

After seeing the movie I decided to read the book. It is first in a trilogy. The first book is  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The second book is The Girl Who Played with Fire. The last book is The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. What makes these books more interesting is that the writer Stieg Larsson died in 2004 all three manuscripts done. Readers suspect that there is a fourth manuscript, a MYSTERY!

The film is surprisingly close to the book. They are great summer reading.
