The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
It?s about the disappearance forty years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden . . . and about her octogenarian uncle, determined to know the truth about what he believes was her murder.
It?s about Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently at the wrong end of a libel case, hired to get to the bottom of Harriet?s disappearance . . . and about Lisbeth Salander, a twenty-four-year-old pierced and tattooed genius hacker possessed of the hard-earned wisdom of someone twice her age who assists Blomkvist with the investigation. This unlikely team discovers a vein of nearly unfathomable iniquity running through the Vanger family, astonishing corruption in the highest echelons of Swedish industrialism and an unexpected connection between themselves.
Contagiously exciting, it?s about society at its most hidden, and about the intimate lives of a brilliantly realized cast of characters, all of them forced to face the darker aspects of their world and of their own lives. more

- A page turner but a bit of a letdown at the end
Picked this book up just for fun and hadn't read anything about it so no expectations good or bad. Many have already laid out the plot so I won't repeat that information. I have to admit that I couldn't put this book down. The author...

- Enjoyable lite lit
I listened to the unabridged audio book and found this light-weight thriller quite enjoyable. It kept its European flavor and it was obvious that this was home territory for the author. Simon Vance did a great job bringing the characters...

- Brilliant Book
I loved this book. Once I got started on it, I found it irresistable. The characters are so easy to relate to because they all seem to have a slew of their own problems and mess, but at the same time are very endearing. It is all tied...
