I too would love to know more about Salander.<br /><br />@Marduk - I agree that Larsson is a sad loss to literature, especially since he only really gained renown since his death.<br /><br />@Ole - Ah, that's interesting to know!<br /><br />@Elouise - the rape scene can be skimmed over, it isn't necessary. The cat scene is much more central to the plot. I have to admit, this book is very dark in places - although I loved it, I did want to look away at some points. If you are genuinely sensitive to these kinds of things, then you might want to pass (and it takes a lot for me to admit that).Magemandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08986754628836562869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-36535364146182834912010-10-25T12:28:45.968+01:002010-10-25T12:28:45.968+01:00The rape and the cat scenes - are they necessary f...The rape and the cat scenes - are they necessary for understanding the plot, or would it be possible to skim over them and still know what's going on? Because I am really curious about these books, but I have never yet been able to bring myself to read any kind of vivid description of rape. Or wanton cruelty toward animals or children, for that matter. Just can't do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-16313139144309381172010-10-25T05:02:08.362+01:002010-10-25T05:02:08.362+01:00The prose is a bit stilted in the Norwegian transl...The prose is a bit stilted in the Norwegian translation I have read too. So I guess it is Larsson's writing.Weirdmagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999326013335351617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-14351794545945574832010-10-25T02:09:24.331+01:002010-10-25T02:09:24.331+01:00Memory, the other two books are great and you lear...Memory, the other two books are great and you learn all of Lisbeth's back story, have no fear. It's a great shame and tragedy for him that Larsson died before he could write more of the series and live to enjoy his success.Marduknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-23123153126518074782010-10-24T19:48:21.012+01:002010-10-24T19:48:21.012+01:00I also loved this one, and can't wait until I ...I also loved this one, and can't wait until I reach the top of the library list for THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE! Apparently that one focuses on Salander, so I hope we learn more of her backstory.Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922151273874989122noreply@blogger.com
