Review of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (Stieg Larsson)

Somehow ended up watching the movie on Netflix's instant streaming service before reading the book. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Didn't like the book. The movie doesn't leave you enough time to think about whether something makes sense or no. The book does. This is the problem. I find most mysteries to have little credibility because when you think about the progression of events they don't quite make sense. In fact, I'm going to stick out my neck and say non-fiction mysteries, i.e., real-world murder cases or scientific mysteries are way more interesting and credible than the average Agatha Christie type mystery.

Skip the book and watch the movie. And, oh, there are some really sick people in the world.
