The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
Just for fun I am including this poll. I just started reading this book and so far I've been getting mixed reviews. Some people love it and others hated it. So just for fun where do you stand?

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I always tell people to skip the first 250 pages 
I kept leaving it and going back- once I got to the halfway point, I couldn't put it down. The first half is killer though.
The 2nd one was great right from the start. I still have to read the last one.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
meh- it was good. Mildly entertaining but i enjoyed Hunger Games WAY more.
Honestly (and I've said this before) I feel like alot was lost in translation here. Sometimes I felt like I was reading an Ikea catalog

Exactly this --- it was hard getting into the book at first but then it got to the point where I couldn't put it down

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
Loved it, probably one of the best suspense books I've read in a long time. I loved the whole trilogy

I'm only in about 30 pages and this is how I feel. I keep reading a few pages and then put it down because I feel like I don't get it. 
But I guess I'll try to get through the beginning because some people really love it.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
I found it very hard to get into at first... (and someone warned me of that) and then it just clicked...
Out of the three - it wasn't my favorite, but I did love the series as a whole.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
ABSOLUTELY loved it. It's amazing.
I also loved the first move. Noomi Rapace is incredible. The other 2 movies weren't as good IMO.
I'm afraid to see the American versions, I'm afraid they're going to suck.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
I loved the book--HATED the first 60% but once I was in, I was hooked!
Keep reading even though its a struggle.
I haven't read the others because I was scared I'd have the same issue. Good to know I won't!

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
Hated the beginning and the end. The middle was quite good.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
just finished it...overall I really enjoyed it..especially the middle of the book. I agree the beginning dragged and so did the end a little bit but overall a good book. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
You really have to get past the first few chapters before it gets good. I only stuck with it because I'd heard it was amazing and I'm glad I did. LOVE the series, hate the first few chapters of the first book.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
LOVED it! And the other two that followed.
But LMAO at the OP who said she felt like she was reading an Ikea catalog.

The writing was not the best- but I loved the story. And I ran out with a winter storm hot on my heels, sans coupon (I NEVER pay full price for books!) to get the second book which was still in hardcover.

Re: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-poll
Loved the entire series. Literally walking around the apartment reading because I just had to find out what happened next. Reading this series got me back on the road to reading in general.
Planning on re-reading at least Girl with the Dragon Tattoo before the movie comes out in December, but as my DH pointed out, I will probably be just as crazed about the series this time around.
