xandira 's review for:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy
by Stieg Larsson
To be entirely honest, the only reason I was able to get through this book was because I listened to the audiobook version as I was driving.
The first 3rd or so of the book is not a very interesting summary of the economic situation in Sweden, as well as the backgrounds of the main characters. I had tried starting it a couple of times before I listened to it, and was never able to get passed the dry narrative that bounced back and forth between characters in a seemingly random manner.
However, once the actual mystery was presented and the characters came together, I found this book quite engaging. The story focused in on the main characters and the main plot point quite nicely, and following the steps they took to answer the many surprising questions that arose were enough to keep me listening to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed most of this book, and would recommend it, with the condition that you not be afraid to skip a few pages to get to the good stuff.
