In fact, it seems that they are changing the title to The Lost Ones... I really have been buying too many books in the last three months, and I have to stop. <br /><br />I did not hate the Dragon Tattoo books, I just thought that they were very overrated. What I do hate is books being compared to that series. If I believed the blurbs, it would turn me away from the book.

I don't mind a bit grittier, but I agree the Dragon Tattoo books were definitely a male view of a certain kind of woman. Just the excerpts you've used here make it clear she's a deeper, more real, character.carrpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726596939143045758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-37734436851317861402017-03-08T11:50:57.342+00:002017-03-08T11:50:57.342+00:00Sorry, did I just use the word "book" to...Sorry, did I just use the word "book" to describe that.... that... that.... abortion of literacy?

But it was a trip that once begun, I found myself compelled to finish, so I guess the writer/translator did their job well. Not sure comparisons to GWTDT would work for me as a selling point, but at least it is a comparison that I would be able to respect.<br /><br />(On the other hand, comparisons to a certain book involving various hues of drab colour, would induce hoots of despairing derision (desparision?))<br />Daniel Milford-Cottamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387407272852763234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-1607912192763170052017-03-08T02:10:20.839+00:002017-03-08T02:10:20.839+00:00I have got to get this book.
