Re: Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo DomA Send a noteboard - 09/04/2010 12:03:16 AM
Given the authors death at the time he began trying to get the novels published, it is possible that there was no time to brush up the story to make it flow better.


Actually, he died after he'd delivered the final edit to his publisher for all three books. Millenium was in no way left "unfinished" (leaving aside the story about a fourth book)

You're right, the ending sets up the next books. But you'll see, it's a bit more than that, the real story of the trilogy begins with that too. By the end you might rather wonder if it was necessary to spend a whole book with a stand-alone mystery just to set up the characters before getting to books 2-3. :)

I did wonder about that past tense in the French titles - where does it come from? *NM* Legolas - 10/04/2010 12:39:50 PM 272 Views
Although in the second book, the Dutch title is in the past tense as well. *NM* Legolas - 10/04/2010 05:03:08 PM 261 Views
well, that is true for the second and third book in Swedish too. Not the first one, though. *NM* jh - 10/04/2010 05:29:59 PM 262 Views
