A review by gjeva
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

4.0

I was so resistant to read this but then I just bit the bullet and did it. Fast. Never thought I would enjoy a book that falls into a mystery/crime category but this was fascinating from beginning to end, so detailed, clever, gripping and I loved the girl at the centre, totally unlike any other "heroine" I've ever come across. Although I must say, there is barely any mention of the dragon tattoo itself, so I don't know why they decided to change the title from the original Swedish. Although "Men Who Hate Women" is understandably a pretty brutal name, too envelope-pushing for the English and American publishers!
