title: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Book 2
author:  Denise Mina 
description: For the closing volume of the graphic-novel adaptation of the first book in Larssons blockbuster trilogy, our critique is much the same as the opener. Mina does an admirable job of distilling Larssons wordy prose, and the art is bold and effective. Series fans who still cant get enough of the story line may enjoy scrutinizing this to see which small liberties Mina has taken (a little more banter between Blomkvist and his lovers, for example). But its an uneven interpretation of Larssons alleged feminist bent: full-page entries with statistics about sexual violence lose some of their impact when followed by gratuitous frames of Salander in her underwear. In the novels, Salander is a genuinely fascinating character, and the books would never have been so big without her. Both Noomi Rapace and Rooney Mara conveyed her damaged psyche hauntingly onscreen. Here, with her interior voice quieted, shes little more than a punky, bisexual computer hacker who looks cool on a motorcycle. And if teenage boys are fantasizing about her, then its mission unaccomplished. --Keir Graff
