This series in my next to read list.

I saw the movie and thought it was great. I heard it accurately portrayed the book, as a result I think the first book will be quite good.

Has anyone read the other two in the series? If so how are they?

Dragpent, I love you for creating this thread.

I love the Millenium series.

Did you see the American version or the Swedish version? The American version portrayed the book in a much more accurate way in comparison to the Swedish version. The only thing that I noticed on my first viewing of the American version that should've been in there was the fact that Anita Vanger was dead. In the book, Harriet is living under Anita's name in Australia and is contacting Anita who is in London. In the American remake, Harriet is living under Anita's name in London, and the real Anita is dead.

I saw the Swedish versions as well. I liked them, but I felt like Noomi Rapace's portrayal of Lisbeth was different to Rooney Mara's. Noomi's Lisbeth wasn't someone who was dressed all in black like she was meant to be, but rather somebody who looked like they were part of the more extreme version of a goth/punk subculture.

I like Rooney Mara's Lisbeth more. I just feel like she was more devoted to the role, more than Noomi Rapace was.

Ever since I read and watched the Millenium trilogy, I felt like I was really refreshed and had a different view on life (albeit depressing view). Now, I always dress in darker colours, I don't care what other people think of me. (Yeah, I know. Fuck the haters and all that jazz)

The reason I even decided to read the Millenium trilogy was because I friend of mine told me I was the male version of Lisbeth Salander. I don't really see how that is, apart from the fact that I'm good at computers. I have since made myself the male equivalent though.

When Lisbeth first shows up in the first book, I was immediately interested. After that, I found that I kept skipping all of Mikael's parts, and just skipped to Lisbeth's.

All in all, I really do suggest that people read the trilogy. It's a bit boring here and there, more so in the intro of the first book. But if you think about it, all books are boring in the beginning. I personally only found that Stieg Larsson put way too much detail into describing certain things.
