OK. I AM JUST SAYING THIS ONCE

I got sucked in to reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

It was hard going at the beginning. A lot of grinding detail.

But, I stayed with it and I ended up liking it.

Now, I have started the second book, The Girl Who Played With Fire and my block is implausability.

I am trying to get over it.

I suppose that if you are going to have a pot to stir you have to put something into it.

John says to keep going.

It is not as though I am committing to reading one book. There are, actually, two more and, because of someone's slip with a spoiler, I am not happy about what I hear happens at the end of this second one.

Like the first, there is no climax.

This is similar to other long books these days. It is really one long novel that they broke up into three parts for marketing and other purposes.

That's OK, but it makes for some tough sledding here and there.

I broke my no movies of books I have read for Tattoo. There are two more Swedish movie versions of these books that I will break my rule for.

I will not, absolutely, not go to see the American movie version(s) which promise Daniel Craig as the male star. No way. No how. Absolutely fucking not.

My images are set. The Swedish film was quite close to my idea of what people looked like. Daniel Craig is not in the ball park.
