Brilliant books. Book 2 has just come out in hardback in Canada but I was very lucky. On holiday in Australia was able to pick up both 2 and 3. Fantastic. How sad he is no longer with us, but what a legacy he has left us in these fabulous books.

Why is the third book not yet published in the US? Books 1 & 2: AMAZING. I am so depressed that Larsson is no longer with us, giving us more to devour. Here is to wishing I lived in Sweden or Danemark...I would be able to read Hornet's Nest and see the movies sooner!

Whoever did the subtitles spelled 'definitely' wrong (they wrote 'definately'). A small but irritating mistake for a film adaptation of a world-famous book.

Absolutely amazing books, cannot wait for the movie to come to the US theaters. I hope it will be here soon. I cannot find the third book anywhere? Has it been published in US already?
- Marisha, US, 3 Mars 2010
I think it comes to the US in May. You can buy it online now though.

I just learnt that there are movies as well. I wonder if they will be played in South African Cinemas or if we can get them on DVD. Stieg was an amazingly brilliant writer.

These books could make a huge movie hit in the U.S. Phenomenal books. I'm in to be an extra if they make a U.S. version!!!

Why on earth must the US make their own versions of everything? The originals are much better!
- Europa, 4 Mars 2010
I agree, making an English/American block buster kind of setting would not at all work for these books. But what I don't understand is that the movies are not available with English subtitles yet?!?!

I loved the three books and I miss Michael and Lizbeth!! I am very disappointed to know that the Swedish jurisdiction didn't allow the 4th book to be finished by Mr. Larsson's partner. Any updates about this? Never saw the films in US. Are they going to be played here?

I've LOVED all three books and the first two movies (though I had to watch the second without subtitles). I'm American and I do NOT want Hollywood to get its hands on these movies, they will be ruined. They must stay as they are...the actors are EXCELLENT, the setting is essential, the language is important (just read the subtitles if you have them or muddle your way through like I did). I cannot WAIT until I'm able to see the third movie, I have no idea when that will be since the third book isn't even release in the US yet.

The Filmproducers from Yellow Bird in Sweden really made 2 ( I saw them ) and probably 3 very good movies. Swedish spoken and with subtitles according to the country you live. Seeing dubbed movies is per defenition wrong. The thought that Hollywood is interested to buy the right and make thier version is not very attractive. You can't transport the typical scandinavian settings of this story to Hollywood. I heard Tarrantino is interested.
I can only deduct he like the bloody parts and want to make his version style Kill Bill. Lot's of killing and bloody scenes. But I fail to see how Hollywood can do this and make it a blockbuster. I as a Millenium fan would hesitate, unless proven different.

After seeing Inglorious Basterds, I beg to differ. Tarrantino would be the perfect fit for this film -- or Martin Scorseze

Is there an american version coming out or will this trilogy simply be available in dubbed or subtitled versions. I 'm ok with both just as long as the quality of the books is translated to the movies!!
