The problem is I'm usually so rushed these days. As for the title, there's a nonfiction self-help book entitled "Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them" so that might have been part of the motive for the title change.<br /><br />Susan, I thought about Deliverance, too. Someone I was talking to today said they thought the scene with Lisbeth taking her revenge was so shocking because we don't often see a woman so coldly engaging in violent revenge. <br /><br />Pax Deux, I suspect sexual violence always has an element of voyeurism. And I would like to read them--maybe sitting on my porch swing up at the lake.cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-4751610672390962242010-05-03T16:57:20.579-05:002010-05-03T16:57:20.579-05:00Read it!

Personally, much more interesting than the Bourne series, because the politics is explicit and in your face. <br /><br />I was intrigued by your analysis about why the violence has been discussed as "shocking." I mean, the violence in "Transformers" is shocking because it is utterly needless and boring to boot. Here, not so much.<br /><br />And yet, I do have a friend who suggests that the director (and perhaps even book's author) wandered into voyeur territory with the depictions. <br /><br />Nevertheless... READ Them! ;-)Pax Deuxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-8687093432507790972010-05-03T12:08:49.406-05:002010-05-03T12:08:49.406-05:00"Which may in fact be the source of those com..."Which may in fact be the source of those complaints about the images of brutality: you see, our society has been conditioned to depictions of violence against women. But sexual violence against men? Not so much."<br /><br />This comment echoes something I read about why the movie "Deliverance" was so shocking -- for once it was the man who was raped, not the woman. For once the men in the audience could not disassociate from the violence, vulnerability, and fear experienced by the victim.<br /><br />As for "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", I'm waiting for my son to read it and pass it on to me.Susan/DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27125272.post-83212106151355430352010-05-02T17:18:06.304-05:002010-05-02T17:18:06.304-05:00The beginning is rather slow..

I just finished Flesh & Spirit (Carol Berg) [fantasy] and yes the beginning was slow but it was so good. I love a character-based book!<br /><br />I haven't read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo either...am intrigued that the title was changed. I wonder if the publisher thought the book wouldn't be bought with the original title...<br /><br />Not sure if the movie is out here yet.
