I watched the Swedish version of TGWDT. Have yet to see the American released version.

My only disappointment with the way Lizbeth's character is shown in book and flick is why couldn't the male author keep her character a lesbian? Would that not have been sexay for the viewers and readers? In the book, Blomkvist has a few sexual trysts who is not Lizbeth. The Swedish version, he only has sex with Lizbeth. The heteronormative in everything is maddening.
