Re: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy
I knew they were pro-christian, alot of books written around then were though. I've read a few of his adult books and they were very much about Christianity, interesting though...Racist - I think like LOTR it was more they were concerned with the war and it's effects - think of the end of the last book. But then Tolkien and Lewis were good mates, so you can imagine the conversations!

Like I said - not really concentrating and not stuck into the plot yet.

I think that I may be only person who didn't enjoy these books. I read the first and didn't bother with the others. Felt like I was introduced to a character at the end that I was supposed to care about and didn't. Then he left a whole pile of unanswered questions about the girl to make you buy the next one.
Maybe its better in Swedish

Re: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy
Guess it also depends on if you like reading "series" books. I prefer them as I get used to the characters and over several books you see them develop, so I treat the first in a series as expo in many ways. This should have been the first of 10, so I guess he thought he had loads of time. I enjoyed the second
my OH hated the ending - too neat for him, he wanted her origins left in mystery but by the time you read the third you realize that is what the story is about.
I'm 3/4 thru the Scarrow Legion books, just a good read, very boys own and I love them!
