The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Widely acclaimed book, with a rather strange history. Stieg Larsson wrote the Millenium trilogy and died soon after. This one, the first went on to become a bestseller.

The book is a page turner for certain, without being beautiful for its writing. The themes are violent and disturbing at times. At the end of it, I don't know if I'm any better off for having read it, although I could not put it down for the most part. I guess it would, by that definition classify as a successful thriller.

Maybe the violence just put me off.
