Stieg Larsson - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Swedish journalist Stieg Larsson penned the Millennium trilogy, which finally lands on American shores with THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. It's the story of a financial journalist who agrees to investigate a 40-year-old kidnapping in exchange for help with his legal woes. The journalist teams up with a rebellious but savvy young computer hacker, and together the unlikely duo unravel the horrifying, shocking truth at the heart of the case. A complex, intelligent work, Larson's novel became so popular in Denmark that it outsold the Bible. Larsson, however, never got to witness the success of his books, for he died shortly after completing the series.

Two years ago, my son told me about a film with this book's title.  He loved it.  A couple of months ago, I saw a trailer for a film of the same name.  The first movie never made it to Odessa because it was a foreign film (Sweden).  I wanted to read the book before the American...

New York Times: "The ending of THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE...comes straight out of a horror movie: it's gory, harrowing and operatically over the top. The reason it works is the same reason that DRAGON TATTOO worked: Mr. Larsson's two central characters, Salander and Blomkvist, transcend their genre and insinuate themselves in the reader's mind through their oddball individuality, their professional competence and, surprisingly, their emotional vulnerability."
