hmm pwede bang movie format hahaha1 joke. Maganda iyong movie pero I've heard mas maganda iyong book.


the fun starts on chapter 8 or 9 pa. so bear the boredom for a while. =)
Yay for Lisbeth Salander!!!

don't rush reading this. it's a lot to take in, esp with the scandal/horror that is the core of the story.
the Swedish movie was really good, close to the book sya actually.
;)

question, kaya ko ba tong basahin ng gabi? sabi ni ate Maria may horror/scandal daw to? bka mgka-nightmares ako~~ :(

I don't want to spoil anything, but as is expected from some books in the genre, there are certain scenes that well may left you... horrified. Haha! :D
Just teasing...
Promise, maganda 'to!
At para makadagdag sa kaangasan, while reading this one during the holiday the previous year I listened to Trent Rezonr and Karen O's cover for Led Zeppelin's The Immigrnat, which was the OST of the Hollywood/Fincher adaptation.
My warm regards and happy reading!
Yeah \m/

it was jzhun who recommended this to me.
Eli, how old are you ba? hehe, i loved murder-mystery books kaya swak na swak sa lasa ko ito. i'm not sure if you'll have nightmares pero siguro sa mga conservative na girls, kagula-gulantang ang mga pangyayari dito. Go lang sa pagbabasa!
LS: ay siraulo c Lisbeth compared kay Katniss. but i crave Lisbeth's madness! Astig tlg.

and I'm 20 y/o. IKR, you can laugh at me, pero madali lang tlaga ako mgka-nightmares. hindi ako matatakutin, talagang napapanaginipan ko lang ung mga binabasa ko...
and yeah so far, I think lisbeth is an interesting girl~ Katniss is fierce but still a child for me, the character of Lisbeth looks promising though.

I love Lisbeth :) I remember being paranoid about my bank account online at baka ma-hack hehe.

What Lisbeth did in the novel is probable, specially now that we rely so much with computers and the internet to the ease with which we are living.
Technology, my dear Dr Watson, is a two-bladed sword.


kakatakot un sobra. and how do you say Bjurman? is it Byurman? parang ang hirap ng language nila, it's in sweden right?

On another note, Po!!! Where the hell are you?!?!"
Speaking of Blomkvist, Im on the file 162 already. Hawig niya iyong nasa movie nga.

Natapos ko na sa wakas. I think I'll watch the movie tonight, may karapatan na... :D


@John, unoriginal na Kano? haha. ang tawag nila dun democracy~ karapatan nilang manggaya. xD
haha @ate LS (view spoiler)



Its Swedish film adaptation is so like how I imagined Lisbeth Salander. I haven't watched its hollywood version though. Can anyone compare the 2 versions?

@ate Marian, I'll compare the two versions kapag natapos ko na pareho panuorin. :D
Ate LS, tingin ko di sila bagay, layo ng age gap. :(


Though I deeply admire David Fincher, his version of Larsson's novel just deviated too far to its original source, but then again that's just me.
If you value your time, just stick to the Swedish film version. Compact ang direction at tight ang screenplay. Noomi Rapace is the best Lisbeth Salander bar none! :)

Jzhun: Yeah! Noomi played it sooo well. I sometimes imagine myself as Lisbeth.
Btw, Lisbeth has Asperger's Syndrome, right?
Blomkvist & Salander age gap. I think this is acceptable in western. Though it made me flinch a bit. It would have been ok if Blomkvist is as goodlooking as George Clooney. lol..

Yes! Actually, according to some noted Sherlock Holmes scholars / critics, the Great Detective was also afflicted with that based from his actions in the Canon.
And, since I've already mentioned it and delving further in the subject, I think there's some bit of parallelism with Blomkvist-Salander tandem to the Holmes-Watson duo.
Wala lang. I just realized this when I'm reading Conan-Doyle's novels and stories. Though Larsson, of course, had a modern take on the plot device.
Galing, no! :)
[Sorry, ang dami kong Sherlock Holmes insertions/digressions sa thread na 'to. Haha! :D]

Eli: at malandi ka din pala, nyahahaha! I didn't mind the May-December affair, what i did mind though is Blomkvist and Lisbeth is not on the same page. i mean, hnd emotionally invested c Blomkvist db?

Hindi talaga. But sa part ni Lisbeth, oo.
Actually, when she realized it, the feeling of loving one other person other than her mother is a strange emotion for her.
Natatandaan niyo yong last scene sa book, that was her first heart break. Haha! :D I feel for her! And of course, Lisbeth being Lisbeth, she responded to that situation only with anger because it's one of the defense mechanisms she has.
Ang ganda no? Ang complex ng character niya. :)

Just when she accepted that she can love pala, hnd pala the same ang feelings ng lolo mo. heartbreak kung heartbreak kasi ang tagal nyang nilabanan ung feelings nya, tapos mauuwi din sa wala. :)

Wala lang. Gagawan ko kasi ng review next week, I just want to know what are your opinions about the book. :)

Actually ngaung nasa book 2 na ko, iniisip ko nga kung wala nga bang nararamdaman si Blomkvist para kay Salander.
Pero napaka-ladies man kasi ni Mikael, kung sino-sino na lang. -_- At eto namang si Lisbeth, hindi un ang ine-expect kong gagawin niya sa ending, dapat hinagis niya ung gift sa face ni Berger o kaya pinambasag niya ng kotse ni Berger. Pero, wala eh, ganun siya masaktan. Kinimkim na lang.

Reading plan? haha. Nung una sabi 4 chapters a day. Ewan anu nangyare.

Actually ngaung nasa book 2 na ko, iniisip ko nga kung wala nga bang nararamdaman si Blomkvist para kay Salander.
Pero napaka-ladies ..."
@Eli ganun daw talaga kapag mahal mo ang isang tao hindi mo siya kaya saktan kahit galit ka na...it only means mahal ni Lisbeth si Blomkvist. Ikaw ba magagawa mong saktan ang mahal mo?...nagtatanong lang...
