Book Review #4

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium Trilogy Series #1) by Stieg Larsson: Book Cover The Girls With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.
A Word of Warning: This book has some graphic violent sexual scenes in it. Don't want people to read it and then be like what the heck did Audra recommend.

From Barnes and Noble: A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga,
love story, and financial intrigue.

It s about the disappearance forty years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden . . . and about her octogenarian uncle, determined to know the truth about what he believes was her murder.

It s about Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently at the wrong end of a libel case, hired to get to the bottom of Harriet s disappearance . . . and about Lisbeth Salander, a twenty-four-year-old pierced and tattooed genius hacker possessed of the hard-earned wisdom of someone twice her age who assists Blomkvist with the investigation. This unlikely team discovers a vein of nearly unfathomable iniquity running through the Vanger family, astonishing corruption in the highest echelons of Swedish industrialism, and an unexpected connection between themselves.

Contagiously exciting, it s about society at...

My Review:
I really enjoyed trying to figure out what had happened to Harriet throughout this book. It did keep me guessing. Even when I thought I had figured it out and the characters involved something else would happen. I found it to be very well written. I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series.
