read the first pages adn it was a snore and the movie was TERRIBLE IMO

I saw the movie first, then I picked up the books. I just started reading the first one. The movie was good, but it took a LONG time to get started and figure out what was going on, and there were parts that I didn't know would be in it...and my god. I really enjoyed it, but some of it was SUPER shocking.

I read all three books and I loved them!! I don't read many thrillers, but these ones are brilliant! Very clever, I think. But I agree, the first 50 pages are a little... confusing. It's like: What is this book telling me?? But it gets so gripping later.

I want to watch the movies soonish.

yeah i heard the swedish version of the movie was awful.  and supposedly had to be edited first before distribution in the US because of the "shocking" scenes.  can't wait for the american version.

I have it, read about 60 pages and then got caught up in planning the wedding that I have to restart the book.  But I've heard amazing things about these books!!

I had a hard time reading it until I got to page 100…Several times I thought about quitting, but now it is getting really good!!!

Ok I'm a little slow on this too but the first chapter was awful! I know it supposedly gets better. Did anyone else find it hard to follow? Is it a lot of work to understand the plot? Sometimes my inattention doesn't let me see all the details/whole picture - just making sure I'll start to get it by the end?

the first 50 pages are a struggle and oddly enough, have very little to do with the overall plot of the book.  but it's worth getting through, cause the books are so good.

Ok I'm finally getting it 3 chapters in.  Lighbulbs = good sign!!

Loved this book need to read the 2nd one next it is on my summer reading list! LOL

I also have to agree it took a lot to get into the 1st one!
