Reading vs Audiobooks: What is the difference between Reading and Audiobooks?
Reading is considered a vital part of developing the mind and expanding the imagination. The main difference between reading and audiobooks is that reading is active engagement, while listening is passive engagement.
People have been reading for thousands of years. Since the development of written languages, the words have been inscribed on clay which has dried and hardened to metals ... Read more
Inside the Mind of Lisbeth Salander
Lisbeth Salander ’s Unique Psychiatric Profile
There is a similar Lisbeth Salander in my life, so I know first-hand how complex this character is. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on their thought processes, they behave or think in opposition to your expectations. Sometimes these people look like pretty flowers, but when you try to pic ... Read more
KALLE BLOMKVIST – What does Kalle mean?
The celebrated Millennium series written by the late Stieg Larsson became a worldwide hit in the literary world at the turn of the 21st century. The series centered on two characters, the shy Lisbeth Salander and reporter Mikael Blomkvist (aka Kalle Blomkvist).
For those who enjoy television series or movies that have strong, identifiable characters, the experience of watching such programs over and over again can be quite limiting. After all, only so many stories can be produced by their creators. And despite their best efforts, they can only produce a limited amount of work. With so many fans yearning ... Read more

A CRITICAL READER’S REVIEW
With regard to my review of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy (‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’, ‘The Girl Who Played with Fire’, ‘The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest’), I preface my remarks by admitting a background in editing and publishing. I am not an average reader, but neither do I imply I have the writing skills or the creativity to produce literary fiction, because I don’t. I am merely afflicted with critical reading skills. The following observations are simply my thoughts and I read the Millennium Trilogy purely for pleasure. Regarding the many and obvious fl ... Read morewow
The 3 best novels I have ever read. Plotting was brilliant, charactors vibrant and believable. If only Stieg was still around to give us more. I desperately wanted to find out how it all ended, but was enjoying the books so much that I did not want to reach the end. (If that makes any sense).... Read more
Larsson Rocks!!!!
There are a couple of scenes in the movie that are a little gruesome to watch - but look at the big picture! And for those of you who don't think stuff like this happens - pull you head out of the sand.

The Girl with the dragon Tattoo
In the Christmas of 2002, Mikael Blomkvist, journalist and part-owner of the political Swedish magazine millennium, finds himself facing jail time and heavy damage costs after losing a libel case against the billionaire Henrik Wennerstrom. With the defeat playing on his mind he is grateful for the distraction Henrik Vanger provides him when he is summoned out to Hedestad to take on a case proving quite personal to the retired industrialist. With the promise of a significant financial reward and the evidence he so desperately seeks to destroy Wennerstrom Blomkvist begins work writing the Vanger ... Read moreEnthusiasm !!!

My Thoughts
Had never heard of these books until the past year when I got them at my local library one at a time & couldn’t wait until I got the next one. They were obviously violent & disturbing. But they were, unfortunately, what really goes on in the world of human beings in the name of money & power. Truth as we know is stranger than fiction. Lisbeth was a person we understood was not what we call the normal person, but then who would be if we lived her life. I have to say I was rooting for her all the way through the trilogy & was very happy with the ending. I hope other people took stock of the fa ... Read moreflop !!!
i watched the movie today was disgusted by it ! i hated all the characters they all had a fucked up side to them ! this movie only promoted violence and rape and only sickos would enjoy this movie ! it made me feel really small as a women to watch the rape scenes as i did not think Lisabeth who is meant to be really clever would be belittled like that ! i mean surely she must have known the fat guy was not right in the head ! i think the movie concentrated too much on the rape and violence scenes rather than on the main plot of solving where harriet was ! in my opinion the movie is very ...

I was very excited about the first book. Although not particularly impressed by the writing style of Larsson I was truly amazed by the an interesting and extremely engaging first book of the trilogy. It had everything: a thorough historical background, a Sherlock Holmes style setting and a fresh more humane perspective with strong female characters. Simply Excellent!!! Second book was less exciting but it retained certain attractive qualities: intriguing background stories, dynamic plot line and almost encyclopedic insights. I was a bit alarmed by more apparent division of black and white a ... Read moreBreathtaking trilogy

I have found a new favorite Author only to find he is gone!
As a struggling author I know what I like and what constitutes a spell-binding book (I hope) and the trilogy sat on my end table for months as I tried to start the first of the three. It is difficult to start because Mr. Larsson’s style is a bit of an acquired taste. But picking it up one day, I started reading and it all hit me at once. I immediately started the book over and barely put it down except to do essential jobs and sleep. I loved the book, the mystery and suspense and found that I was sure I had it figured out mid-way through; only to find I was way wide of the mark. I picked up ... Read moreAmazing writer

Characters in this book range from sympathetic to unbelievable. Blomqvist is everyman, highly talented; we like him in spite of his failings.

You are taken step by step into a world of computers, government and Spies. Into a world of domestic violence and child abuse that is being covered up by this Secret Organization just to protect a defector from another country. The only way that Lisbeth Salander can survive is through the use of her calculating mind and wit. Unknown to her though she has several friends on the ...

Graphically real, this series looks at so many societal issues..one of the greatest being the “systems” in place that are to protect children.

On the contrary, I disagree with the reader’s comment of “what an imagination!”. I think Stiegg Larson could see only too well what can and does happen in society. I ap ... Read moreFantastic!

The only problem is: this is what they call a ?cold case.? Harriet Vanger went missing forty years ago, and her great uncle, an elderly industrial magnate called Henrik Vanger, believes she was ...
