So, as many of you know, the American version of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo hits theaters the 21st of this month, in...(hang on while I count)...8 days! (Well, 7, if you don't count the day it comes out.) To say I'm excited would be a terrific understatement; I was so wholly captivated by the first novel, so flabbergasted by (most notably) one of the two main characters, Lisbeth Salander (look her name up; it'll be quite interesting), that I simply was ecstatic when I heard David Fincher was taking on this incredible Swedish thriller. I recently purchased the sequel, so I'm hoping to get around to that as soon as possible.
For those of you who don't know what it's about, I'll surmise it here (perhaps this'll help me hone my hook skills). A recently convicted journalist, Mikael Blomkvist, and a computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, work together to piece together the puzzle of a girl who disappeared more than forty years ago.
Sounds wonderful, no? So, if you're into thrillers, mysteries, fascinating characters (I warn you, there are some heavily revolting scenes both in the book and, according to what the movie is rated R for, in the movie as well), and twists around every corner, pick up The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and prepare for the movie on the 21st. Already read it? Let's wait together! (I'll start counting down on my fingers.)
And remember: Evil shall with evil be expelled. (Seriously one of my favorite movie taglines ever!)
Write on!
