The books are horrible because they're horrible. The only thing disgusting about them is how they pander to a left-liberal sentiment in a rather idiotic manner; the plucky journalist, the abused girl who's really a genius but the government officials just don't get it, etc.
Christ, nearly every woman in the series is a sort of Feminist super-hero; the body builder, the hacker, the manager, etc. Contrast this to portrayal of males in the books; the only ones who are portrayed in a consistently positive manner are "the plucky journalist", "the jewish cop", "the immigrant brazilian boxer", etc.
I read the series, so there is redeeming entertainment value, but for ****s sake....

It's a small lenient study in women's objectification and portrayal in media. If you could please just provide an opinion, it would go a long way.

LINK - women like being eyeballed, and have a crisis of confidence when men stop eyeballing them them. So, please, stop saying they're "objectified".
Anyways, push come to shove, I'd take the girl playing Lisbeth.
