I hate to say I was disappointed with the third book but I won't say much more. Hopefully you'll love it though.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-73717811226085320332010-09-28T03:53:08.429-07:002010-09-28T03:53:08.429-07:00Pam - I think you'll enjoy it!

Now that we've seen the film, he's interested in reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I think you'll enjoy the audio. The reader is very good.<br /><br />I liked TGWTDT film a bit better than TGWPWF. I think the latter was a bit to compressed (and somewhat rushed, for lack of a better word) and that the book was just a bit better... it had more character introspection that doesn't translate too well on film. But it was very worthwhile and something I'd recommend watching if you get a chance. Not sure how I feel about American versions that are in the works. I do like Daniel Craig, though... ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-51931715624123902592010-09-26T16:29:18.033-07:002010-09-26T16:29:18.033-07:00Yay!

I have both the audiobook and hardcover. I don't know which I'll choose. Although, it's on the longer side, so I may just opt for the audio. Glad to hear that it was done well.<br /><br />We watched the movie of TGWTDT a few weeks ago and thought it held close to the book. We enjoyed it. There were a couple of tough spots to watch, but the story line was good.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-59111382101606437232010-09-26T16:08:42.753-07:002010-09-26T16:08:42.753-07:00Diane - My only advice is that you stick with the ...Diane - My only advice is that you stick with the first book even though you may find it plodding or overwhelming with all the names, places, etc. There's a lot of set-up before the plot really picks up. But it's worth the effort, trust me! :)<br /><br />Stephanie - Does that mean you didn't love #3? <br /><br />Kay - Phew. I'm glad to know you enjoyed #3. I'm really excited to pick it up later this next month. But I can't decide whether to listen or read it!<br /><br />Bellezza - This one is so much better than the first! Maybe you should listen to it like I did. The reader is excellent.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-65375141698625255762010-09-26T15:54:40.548-07:002010-09-26T15:54:40.548-07:00I'm so relieved to hear this!

I love how you wrote of her as "so complex and so seriously flawed that one might think she exhibits sociopathic traits" yet likeable at the same time. You've given me renewed hope for the trilogy, which I own but haven't finished.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-77723494014181004282010-09-26T15:51:27.389-07:002010-09-26T15:51:27.389-07:00All I can say is that I was pleased with THE GIRL ...All I can say is that I was pleased with THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST, but I am so sad that there will not be more books from this author. I want to reread these at some point because I read #2 and #3 really quickly. I need to go back and see what I missed as I gulped it up.
