Does The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo live up to the hype?  After a decade of media adulation, word of mouth salivation and big screen saturation I finally got around to reading the Swedish sensation penned by the late Stieg Larsson.  Why you ask, after all this time?  Was it because...

Although Stieg Larsson has passed away, his legacy lives on, as I've finally completed his best selling "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo".This is supposedly the first of a series, and it will be a bit of time before I get to the next one. That is not because this was a terrible book, but rather its... Read full review »

Cons Everything else.

Why am I always the one epinionator who goes against the majority?  I was so excited to read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and got started on it in early July.  It is now mid-August and I just finished it.  It was “the book I could easily put down” rather than the... Read full review »

My friends and family know that I'm an avid reader who is always looking for new books.  When my father passed along The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and told me that it was kind of an "acid rock" criminal/mystery story, I was a little leery.  Between the super bright yellow and green...

I just finished reading my first book on my Kindle: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It was a great experience using my Kindle, but more importantly, it was a really good book.

I'm sure in my book review I will not have a lot of new things to say, but will contribute my insight into this fascinating if dysfunctional mystery novel, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo!

The back-story regarding the author is interesting.  Stieg Larsson was a man, born in 1954, a... Read full review »

It took me a few years and a constant badgering by a friend of mine who thought The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was the be all to end all of literature to finally get me to pick up this best-seller.  I don’t regret reading it, but the book is not without its problems.
