However, regarding some of the comments to this blog... well honestly they seem a bit ridiculous. People are complaining that this blogger has no respect for other people's opinions. Well, I ask you... isn't this blogger entitled to an opinion? It's ok to disagree about your likes and dislikes. That's part of being human and having freewill.JL1218https://www.blogger.com/profile/10807244114689027828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22396877.post-72560551458050623242011-12-21T05:51:30.537-06:002011-12-21T05:51:30.537-06:00'not really that dark' - is it cool to see...'not really that dark' - is it cool to seem the sociopath when you're a teenager and you don't know who you are? <br /><br />You're a silly little idiot.

There were light moments and I believe your focusing on the negatives a little too much and not giving it proper credit. I think that if it was too much for you than you should not write pointless crap complaining on your poor choice of book seeing as it was obviously not the happy, placid story of unpredictable goodness you were hoping for.<br />If you don't like something it's never someone else's fault but your own because other people may love it more than you disliked it.V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06691938415302019459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22396877.post-21397476096750271552010-06-16T22:51:08.590-05:002010-06-16T22:51:08.590-05:00I'm afraid that I just can't buy the propo...I'm afraid that I just can't buy the proposition that Larsson is a "feminist writer." Salander isn't passive, but I'm not sure she's liberated so much as sociopathic.
