Mom,several years when I got a job that was about a 40 minute commute, I found the driving difficult. A friend suggested audiobooks and I was very skeptical because I felt like I need to turn the pages of a book. I tried it and was hooked from the first book. It is a different experience reading with your ears that it is with your eyes but it is equally enjoyable. In America I was able to borrow audiobooks from the local library; I haven’t listenedto one since we arrived and I really do miss it. You should try it, and let me know where you are getting the books from if you do.

I saw the movie too. It’s quite good, considering all the details they ahd to cram in the film.

Chasida, I’ve yet to hear a book on audio. I think it would go so slowly, but it could be good for driving, housework etc. Let me know if you get the movie, maybe we’ll have another get-together and watch it!

I-D, I didn’t remember your review. Glad you liked the third one too.

Yeah, it wasn’t worth it until partway through the second book.

I listened to the first book on audio and really enjoyed it and read the second book before handing it off to Baila. Now I’m waiting for a friend to bring the third book in December and trying to figure out how to get a hold of the [Swedish] movie that was made based on the first book. My husband couldn’t get into the first book either.

I really enjoyed the series, despite the violence you mention, and blogged about it a while back.

Fern Chasida recommended The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and brought me the sequel all the way from America. I tried, but it wasn’t a page turner for me, so I dropped it. Maybe I’ll try again after your review.
