Book recommendation: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Just finished reading this book & it was so great that I recommend it to all who like thrillers. This book is the first of a 3 book series written by Stieg Larson. The second book The Girl Who Played with Fire comes out on Tuesday and I have already pre-ordered it.



From Amazon: Once you start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back. This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston and Michael Connelly. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo.

  2. Yeah, I am getting the download tonight so I will start reading it tomorrow. When I got to the last page, I was like "is that it? Noooo!" I feel for Lisbeth & I can't wait to learn more about her.
