The heroine, Lisbeth Salander, is like no other - small, private, tattooed, she appears to most as one of society's rejects, when in fact she has the most exquisite mind. Her genius is beyond compare, and the lengths she will go to in order to have bad guys taught their lesson are astounding. Teamed with journalist Mikael Blomkvist, a seemingly iresistable older man, Larsson leaves his readers begging for more.
The first book in the trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, hooks you into the world of Swedish magazine Millenium with a dramatic plot line and stunning bouts of character development. Just when you think you know Salander and Blomvkist, the second book, The Girl who Played with Fire, pops up to prove that you really didn't. Besides which, the twist towards the end of this second installment actually had my eyes popping out of their sockets. As for the third book? Well, just like a complicated court case, I think it's better if you discover every aspect of that one by yourself.
I truly reccommend this beautifully written trilogy.
Much Bookish Love.
