My Review of The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo by Stieg Larsson

OK,

I've stopped giving five star reviews overall because a book has to literally blow my socks off to qualify, and most books just don't do that for me.

But this one did.

Five Stars to this book. FIVE STARS.

ONLY, and after, let me point out, #364 pages of back-story.

Then, all of a sudden THIS THING ERUPTS.

A current No-No in fiction, but we can't tell Stieg that now, can we?

Seriously, someone needs to edit the first third of this book, but, I don't see that ever happening - so, on with what impressed me.

Lisbeth and Mikael's relationship.

It explodes suddenly after they meet. And so does the action. Larsson is brilliant, the way he wove all the mysteries together. I certainly couldn't have done it all in 644 pages. But he did. He told a story that knocked my socks off - I'm so glad I didn't put it down. He wove current issues of Stock Trading fraud in-amongst a thirty year-old murder mystery with a twist even I didn't see coming, all within a current-day psycho-murderer-sex-offender plot that took my breath away.
(I love it when the creeps really get it in the end, don't you?)

I'm telling you people, you want to read about Lisbeth Salander and how she navigates her place in the world. She's a heroine with GUTS that I'll be sad to see disappear with the end of this series.
 
The best thing I can say about her unorthodox methods is I have two more novels in the series to discover her actions and motivations in yet-to-read novels I can't wait to get to. I read this book for my local RiverStone Book Club Spring assignment, and I must say, hats off to Peggy for including it on the list.

I wrote my novel, Careful What You Wish For... in 2009, before I read this, and now I feel like I'm back in elementary school compared to Stieg Larsson. Seriously, I'm not worthy.

Treat yourself to a GoodRead.
