The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The book started kind of slowly, but I appreciated it in hindsight. Once I got into the meat of the book, hundreds of pages flew by like nothing, and I realized that without the slower intro to Blomkvist, he would have gotten completely lost against the larger personality of Lisbeth. It made me appreciate Blomkvist as a protagonist more, as opposed to him just getting lost in Lisbeth's rather awesome shadow.

Once the book started dealing with the mystery, I couldn't believe how engrossed I got in the book. Initially, I wondered if I would, or if this would be a case of wondering why it was so popular, like a lot of literary trends. But I'll definitely be reading the other two books in the Millennium trilogy.

Why do I always say that I'm going to keep this thing updated, and then never do? Maybe because I really don't have a life that can keep this thing full. I barely even update my Facebook status. As usual, there's nothing in my life really exciting happening. Work and school coming in a few weeks, as long as nothing funky happens with my student loan.
