Here's the review I promised!
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is the first novel in Stieg Larsson’s extremely popular and widely acclaimed trilogy. The novel has two main characters: Mikael Blomkvist who is a forty something reporter and editor for a small paper named Millennium, and Lisbeth Salander an abused and introverted investigator who looks many years younger than her actual twenty-two.
Blomkvist is charged with libel in a very high profile case very early on in the novel and leaves Millennium to figure out his life before serving his prison sentence. It is at this time that he is approached by the ailing corporate tycoon Henrik Vanger, and is asked to write Henrik’s biography while secretly trying to figure out what really happened to his niece Harriet Vanger, who disappeared without a trace almost forty years ago.
Meanwhile Lisbeth Salander is, due to her fantastic investigative skill and her extremely in depth reports, Milton Security’s best investigator. So when Blomkvist makes a break in the forty year old case and needs a partner, it comes as no shock (to the reader at least) that he turns to Salander.
Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a seductive, well written, revamped murder mystery. Larsson’s fantastic story-telling ability pulls, a very willing reader, deep into the Vanger family’s world of hatred, secrets, and of course lies. Filled with incredible twists and turns, Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a book you’ll find yourself never wanting to put down.
