[LM_NET] Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[Brenda Lemon <blemon@473MAIL.NET>]

I personally would not recommend this book for high school let alone for middle 
school students.  The rape scenes were just too graphic....to the point that if 
this was a movie (which it is overseas and there is talk about making one in the 
US), some of the scenes would have to be cut to make it an R rating.  I'm thinking 
specifically about how Lizbeth tortures the man who rapes her getting poetic 
justice.

However, I also strongly agree that this book is a very wonderful adult book and I 
have passed on the recommendation to several people I know.
