I liked it, it's not the amazing film it's made out to be though. I think Rapace who played Salender is perfect but some scenes her acting was a bit cheesy. Also glad they missed some things out of the book, nothing important. But was incredibly boring to read those parts in the book.
I've yet to see the second film since the dvd isn't avaliable where I get them from, and I don't like watching pirate films.
The second book is more action packed/thriller, the third contains a lot of court scenes.
There is an American remake on the way.
