After hearing so much about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I finally picked it up. I am so glad I did. If you’ve ever heard the words, “The plot thickens” I have seen no finer example than in this book. The details spanning generations are skillfully woven together.
Lisbeth Salander is a fascinating character and central to the story. She is a ward of the state, a brilliant computer hacker, a justice seeker, and so much more. Working alongside Mikael Blomkvist they seek to solve the forty year old mystery of the disappearance of a young woman from a wealthy family.
The story is fast moving, intriguing, and never dull. I’m so glad I’ll be able to jump right into the next two books in the series and see the movie. I am saddened though that the literary world lost such an amazing author before his time.
