The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series)

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The thrilling first book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series featuring Lisbeth Salander: “Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson’s first novel” (The New York Times). • Also known as the Millennium series

Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.

I read this book for my book club. This is not the kind of book I typically read.

Wow it was such a good book. The first 20 or so pages were filled with information about finance and were not interesting to me. Then the story started to pick up. I thoroughly enjoyed this book – it was a real page turner.

I can't wait the read the next one in the series.

One of those books I've been meaning to read for a long time, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. It was hard to put down.
