They're definitely page-turners. Most of my issues with the trilogy have to do with the writing itself - a heavier hand with editing would have gone a long way with the first book in particular. And I did like Lisbeth a lot overall. (Blomkvist was done a great service by having Daniel Craig play him.) My main non-writing issue with the books is like I mentioned above, but I agree - the only real torture-porn stuff is actually against Blomkvist and less so the crimes against the women. Those are portrayed unflinchingly without making a spectacle of them.

I like where the trilogy stopped too. (Although I literally laughed aloud at the idea of not-Daniel-Craig Blomkvist making a good match with a former Olympian.) On the other hand, in the hands of another writer, the creepy background stuff would get scrubbed off, at least a bit. It might be a borrowing-from-a-friend sort of read. If it even happens, of course.
