I have red The Girl with Dragon Tattoo recently. I heard many very good opinion about it so I decided to read it. The book was OK but not fantastic.
I was thinking to go to the cinema to see movie based on this book but I'll wait for DVD.

Re: The Book thread
Congrats on your selection C_T. Your charitable ways will always make you winner.
Oh I've been made a co-moderator for the Time travel Goodread group :) I need a Beate's whip, there was some naughty spamming going on in the group by authors. While I fully support the Goodread member authors (I have already read 4 member author books since joining), there were a couple who tried to dominate the group by opening up so many redundant chat threads, which drowned out other authors book threads. The threads were all self promoting threads disguised as topical discussion. I removed the threads and sent a polite message to the authors but one got angry insisting I am abusing my powers. However, I stood firm. There is only one other co-mod but he was glad I removed the threads. Didnt think moderating a small group would already be so eventful, how the heck does Beate manage with the hundreds of us uncivilised lot?
Nearing the end of reading Skullduggery Pleasant which I've been reading for 2 months because I had to finish 3 other books in between. Very enjoyable though, can see why its creating a bit of a following.

Re: The Book thread
I agree with you. The ending was disappointing. I guessed from the beginning that Martin has got some dirty secret. Henrik Vanger said to much good things about him. Also from the beginning author was giving many hints what sort of crime it's going to be uncover.Flabber wrote:The ending I thought was rather disappointing... the book that is.ramaloo wrote:I have red The Girl with Dragon Tattoo recently.

intentional and open ended leading to the following books.
I've not read the other books so will be interesting once I get to these.
