A review by stephaniesteen73
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

4.0

I have not been engrossed in a book this much in a long time (especially a 580+ page book!) I initially got it as an audiobook for a recent trip and heard the first 50 or so pages. While interesting, I didn't see what all the "buzz" was about. I decided to continue reading, since I'm definitely a visual person. After page 100, I was hooked, and it kept getting better. Whenever you thought things were going one way, another twist would occur. It's also crazy that the main "mystery" of the book is solved with 100 pages to go, yet those 100 last pages are just as compelling and set the stage nicely for book 2. I also enjoyed the setting of Sweden. I definitely recommend this if you have a couple solid days of time to read and can ignore your family, job, responsibilities, etc. :)
