This is the graphic novel version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Despite both books being rather thin and the entire book could have been released together it wasn't so. While I really was captivated by the books and the movies the graphic novels seemed lacking. The story is mostly there though in a more condensed form but the characters seem flatter and less realistic. Though that won't stop me from reading any other graphic novel adaptations that come out about this series.

The graphic novel does have one thing going for it through. While the books and movies are likely rated R (dont remember and too lazy to go look) the graphic novel cuts out or filters most of that and presents the story in what would likely be considered more PG-13 ish.
