The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book really sucked me in. It took a solid 50 (nook) pages to get going (some of the initially story setup was a yawn-fest), but once the book got going I was hooked. The mystery our protagonist needs to solve is intriguing, the family that is mired in the craziness is fascinating, and the character development is engaging.
Tons of Swedish references, which were a little distracting at times (and yet they always talked temperature in Fahrenheit). Some of the techno-babble seemed like it was trying too hard. But overall, a solid mystery (or a mystery within a mystery).
When I started the book, I didn’t realize it was the first in a trilogy. Now I’m looking forward to the next two books! View all my reviews »
