I Tried. I Really Tried.

I so wanted to finish reading Stieg Larsson's

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

I tried.

I really did.

I just cannot get into it.

I got stuck on page 27.

I must've read page 27 20 times.

Here it is:



There are a few things I've had issue with.

An odd spelling of the word jaol instead of jail.

Main characters last name is Blomkvist.

Every time I read it, I have to sound it out:

Blom - k - vist

It does not roll smoothly in my brain and pulls me out of the story.

After page 27, there are about 4 more pages of AIA, Govt this,

Govt that, speculation firms, blah blah blah.

I just had to close it and sigh.

I will most likely enjoy the film very much.

I love the Bourne films but I don't think I'd enjoy

reading the novels by Robert Ludlum.

So, I have given up.

I can only try so many times before I completely shut down.

Today I grabbed from my bookshelf a book I bought on

sale a while back & have yet to read.

If You Could See Me Now by Cecelia Ahern.

She also wrote P.S. I Love You, which I really enjoyed.

Bus fluff.

Easy reading on the way home after a hard day.
