A review by lilkingtrashmouf
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
4.5
Despite being 800+ pages, this is a book I devoured.
This is my second read through, but it's been nearly a decade since the last time I read it and I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was sucked back in.
Some parts are hard to read, but its original title was "Men Who Hate Women" so to be expected.
In spite of the unpleasant parts, I love this book.
The last couple pages irked me, but it's fine because the story doesn't end there. If it was a standalone, I would be pissed.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Sexual harassment
Minor: Sexual content
I'm not sure how to adequately sort the content warnings. There is sexual violence/assault/harassment of varying degrees and description. A lot is implied or viewed after the fact, but it is a theme throughout the entire novel.
