    Red face Requesting feedback on this HC graphic novel set by Stieg Larsson

    It's the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2 books) and The Girl Who Played With Fire in GN format.

    This is the first set of HC's I'm quite keen on acquiring, dependent on positive feedback. I've seen good deals around but want to know if it sticks to the books quite faithfully and can do the job of telling the story if someone hasn't read the original novels.

    I've only read the two volume Dragon Tattoo books (didn't even know about the Playing With Fire one,) and can highly recommend them.

    As an update, I just ordered both, with shipping everything came up to $23, which isn't bad as each Vol had a $19.95 retail.

    Yep. There's also a preview comic available but not an actual comic series, but I'll settle for these.

    Books arrived, loved them, now on loan to a friend at work who's paranoid about the original novels and has never seen them like this.
