I think with most of Steig Larsson's books the issue is the language barrier. Overall they are awesome books though but I have to agree the movies flow better.

I liked how the movies stuck to the book story exactly. Im often disappointed w/ US movies based on a book. Some bear lil resemblance to the original story.

I'm reading The Body by Stephen King (for a class, but I'm liking it so much I might read the other three novellas that come with it) plus a mystery by Elizabeth George called For the Sake of Elena. If you've ever watched any of the Inspector Lynley mysteries on TV (I think PBS mystery series) then you might like these, George wrote the Lynley books. She has a long list of them. I think I am on my fourth. We hit two second hand book sales last week and oh my, scored big. Lots of 25 cent paperbacks and hardbacks for 34 cents. Sorry, had to get some book bragging in there. I also scored some Val McDermid, Tami Hoag and PD James. I'm in mystery hog heaven right now. I probably won't surface till the end of summer.
