Book Review: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larrson
We give it: ***
This is the first installment of the Millenium Trilogy.
The industrialist: Henrik Vanger, head of the dynamic Vanger Corporation is tormented by the loss of a child decades earlier and convinced that a member of his family has committed murder
The Journalist: Mikael Blomkvist delves deep into the Vangers’ past to uncover the truth behind the unsolved mystery. But someone else wants the past to remain secret and will go to any lengths to keep it that way. But why would this successful journalist agree to attempt to divulge the past of this troubled family?
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:Lisbeth Salander, the enigmatic, delinquent and dangerous security specialist, assists in the investigation. A genius girl who tolerates no restrictions placed upon her by individuals, society or the law.
I was never much into thriller novels but this book changed everything I ever thought about this genre. This cracking and stunning novel is brilliantly written and totally capturing. The way Larsson interweaves his two stories had me heart pumping from beginning to end. The ending was such a cliffhanger that I threw myself into the first bookshop to buy the next one! However, what captivated me the most in this book was the fact that it explored the issue to women abuse in a way that no other book or document does. The techniques the author uses are excellent and I personally found it an extremely awakening experience.
Anyone who is into thriller novels or not, would adore this book full of mystery and suspense, yet penetrated by unmasked world issues that strike you in the face.
