The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Book 2 by Stieg Larsson, Leonardo Manco, Denise Mina, Andrea Mutti
3.0
2.5 stars
I don't think I'm a good audience for graphic novels and doubt I'll read any more, especially if they're based on books of which I've read the full versions. I did find the artwork in this second volume to be slightly better than the first, but I still didn't particularly care for the story. I suspect that my dislike is not related at all to the graphic novel, but more to the comparison between the graphic and full novels. I just felt there were too many (lots, in fact) important details left out of this book, and the holes were very apparent to me. But perhaps they won't be apparent or even noticeable to someone who hasn't read the full work.
