I would recommend the original movie over both the book and the remake. The original movie made some key changes to tighten things up and to not undo the character of Lisbeth after spending the entire story showing her depths. The remake makes the mistake (in my opinion) of hewing too closely to the book in this, but at the same time they made a complete change in one of the reveals that serves no purpose but to confuse the book readers and to give a highly implausible reveal to those not in the know.<br /><br />I did like this remake, but not as much as the original.

She doesn't have a lot of the symptoms typically associated with full autism, but she'd certainly test on the spectrum.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-60813663772656614432012-10-07T19:06:53.999-05:002012-10-07T19:06:53.999-05:00The book is great, but also takes some time to get...The book is great, but also takes some time to get going.

Also... I'm a bit ...I told you it picks up! :P<br /><br />Also... I'm a bit confused by your reason not to watch. Of course if you can't make it through the first 30 you won't make it through. That seems like "If you can make it through the whole movie, you'll finish it." No offense. I was just like "Um... k."Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.com
