I saw the first two films. They don't leave anything out. Still, I
enjoyed the books and the movies.

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.
