Sucker for the details

So it seems I've fallen behind. I needed a break from blog world. A recharge of my creative energy before I became too dull. I'm starting to bubble over in anticipation of the greatness that could literally spill out all over this page. This could get messy.

I'm halfway through reading The Girl with the Dragon tattoo and have to say it is one of those great novels that has you not wanting to put it down to go to the loo, sleep, eat, blog. You know what I mean?

I must confess I feel like I've read the back page of this one. I never do that but before I discovered the book we went to see the movie. It is a Swedish film with English subtitles and more than a little disturbing. One of those movies that leaves you contemplating human nature and how some people are born into evil families and grow into the bad by influence and then, more disturbingly, there are those that are just born bad and stay that way in spite of normal, loving parents and surroundings.

Anyway, as is true in most cases, the book is already proving to be slightly different and more detailed than the movie. I'm a girl who loves the details. So I'm sucked in and really enjoy it.

This is only the first of a Trilogy so I'm looking forward to reading the remaining books - before watching the movies this time.

I also discovered that the author of these 3 novels died shortly after handing the manuscripts over to his publisher - there seems to be a bit of a mystery there or maybe that is just my latent Nancy Drew tendencies hoping there is.

Good to be back. I'll try catch up on the blogs I've missed over the last few weeks.
