Each to their own.
To be honest I only skimmed through parts of the first book, and i didn't think much about the style. Was bored. Paragraph after paragraph. Just another paperback hyped up by media.
"Agent Zigzag" and "Soldier", and "Walking across america", and "The big year", and many of the other books on the shelf(which btw are cross-reference-able through my personal internet banking records in case you were fishing) were all excellent reads and pulled the reader furthur in each subsequent chapter.
Those books were on fire to the point of digital fusion.
Anyway, the first movie had three themes:
1). Swedish. Cold. Removed. Swedish. 'nuff said.
2). Something about brutal rape of women and brutal revenge on their male agressors.
3). Main character is a goth, bi-chick legendary computer hacker(aren't they all?)..who happens to be a ninja with a cold steel katana.
All said, the second film in a theatre was fun.
That's all.
