The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book review

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book review- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is really rich in detail and quick paced. The story starts off very slow and you wondering where this book is going but in the middle of the book it just picks up and fly’s. Your introduction to a female lead is incredibly moving the depiction of the struggles she faced was very touching and scarry. This novel somehow brings off having two really well drawn protagonists, one male, one female that one can empathize with. There is a middle aged journalist, and a troubled but incredibly talented young woman who works as a PI intersect to solve a labyrinthine plot. Lisabiths Sadlers story would have made an incredible novel on its own. She has Aspergers and is trapped in an awful school /social system with no advocates and non-existent mental health services. It is really dark in its themes somewhat like the Kite Runner. The complex mystery, thriller aspects are really good, and then the whole other aspects of the novel which is also a social comment on society in Sweden, journalistic ethics, misogyny, and gut-wrenching sexual violence. So prepare to be disturbed by the darkness it depicts.

All in all, its one of the best mystery /thrillers I’ve read from the last decade. In fact comparing it to the Da Vinci Code, the characters are not simplistic one dimensional cut outs at all. The rich characterizations and explorations of dark behaviour remind me of Elizabeth George. I’m looking foward to reading the next two books in this trilogy.
