Lavinia reviewed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson (Millennium, #1)
Review of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Solidly entertaining - not "all that", and I'm not entirely sure I understand what all the fuss was about, but I very much enjoyed it, enough that I'll read the next book. I especially want to know more about Lisbeth Salander... she was by far the most interesting character, and I assume that, since these books are referred to as a trilogy, she and Mikael appear in the other two.
One thing by which I found myself distracted was that this book seemed to contain two different stories which, while connected, felt artificially so, as if Larsson didn't have quite enough story in either for them to stand alone. I'll be interested to see where he goes in the next book.
