Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Bare with me, I’m doing this from memory. I read this just before graduation. However I did like it enough to go on and get the second book and put it on my shelf to read. Now this book has its main twist (and I’m not telling where it is but it’s a big twist). When you’re reading this book you’ll think that the author was a pyscho woman hater, but he wasn’t. He was bringing to light the abuse that women face (especially abused women). So don’t dislike the author. He was doing something good by making it a story. I’m currently reading the second book (I just started it).
Definitely read this book. It’s slow in the beginning I know. It took me a very long time to push through it but it is worth it. The thing that kept me going was the old man at the beginning of the book when he got a package delivered to his house by someone every year on his birthday. Once he came back into the story, I wanted to see if he was still around at the end (not telling). I loved this character because he was a sweet man. I know pulling teeth and watching paint dry is more exciting and less painful than the beginning of this book but you’ll be happier knowing that you got through it and read the end. I will say this: (someone else and I both feel the same way about this) it felt like it was rushed at the end. Like he was trying to hurry up and wrap up the story. He spent a lot of time writing mundane things (which I can only guess was writer’s block) than the main story. But over all still a good book to read.
A must read!
