The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Book)

****

Originally published "The man who hated women", Larsson's, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is undoubtedly one of the best pieces of fiction this decade has to offer. It tells the story of Mikael Blomkvist a tarnished journalist trying to get his career back on track after a failed story gone wrong. He is hired by Henrik Vanger, an old corporate magnate, to solve a 40 year old murder of his then 16 year old niece Harriet Vanger. Before hiring the journalist they enlist the help of hacker Lisbeth Salander, an emotional distant, loner who has troubles of her own to deal with. She quickly takes over the book as Mikael's assistant, helping to catch the killer. Unbeknownst to them they are about to open Pandora's box on the whole Vanger clans most horrid and terrifying realities.
Bolingbroke Thinks: Ok so I said I would give you the premise but guess what? I've decided you really wanna know read the book or wiki it. However i will say this. I love this book, I felt and Salinger will disagree that this book was more cohesive than the rest and was a great way to introduce us to Salander who is btw fucking awesome, you don't fuck with Lisbeth. It offers a good story with a little bit of everything. The whole solving murder bit is fucking awesome as you have no clue who the fuck is the killer and when you find out your like WTF!!! NOOOO!! ... I know I was.
BITCH PLEASE! warning when you read this you will crave coffee, even if you don't necessarily like it, and maybe some 7-11 pizza. Its a quick read and a page turner. Both Salinger and I finished fairly quickly and it will leave you hooked wanting to read more of Lisbeth and hoping Berger will die.
