Spoiler-ish Question
I finally sat down and read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson the other day and WOW. That is one intense and detailed book. I was quite astonished at how much happened and how well it all hung together. I also grew very fond of the characters introduced. I'm debating whether I want to see the movie. Part of me wants to see how they adapted it and part of it is terrified that they did it so well I'll have nightmares.
Anyway, I have a question about something I found somewhat incongruous.
Why did Lisbeth Salanger burn the album of notes, pictures, & passports of the victims at the end? Having it would have made it easier to find and compensate their families.
My theory is that it would reduce the urge for all concerned to go to the police, but I'm wondering if I missed something.
