I just finished a good book today. It was called “The girl with the dragon tattoo” by Stieg Larsson. This is in the fiction crime drama genre. It tells the tale of a Swedish journalist who goes on the hunt for an missing family member of a rich family, the “Vanger “clan. They are in this book one of the wealthiest families in Sweden. He gains a help from a hacker named Lisbeth Salander, who has a past of her own which she tries to hid from.
Personally I didn’t like
the beginning or most of the middle part of the book. It starts very slow and
you get a lot of characters who just overwhelm you with too much information. The characters over time are
developed well but it is very slowly. Once
you get to the end of the book its starts getting really good, there is black
mail, intrigue and murder that you find out that was happening threw out the
book whil you were wondering when was something going to happen.
The next book in the
trilogy is “the girl who
played with fire”. I hope it
will start faster than this one, but be just as good in reading.
To compare it to the
last book I read it would be very different. The last book I read was nonfiction work and
set in the world of Nazi Germany before world war II. The Girl with the dragon
tattoo is set in Sweden and is a work of fiction. They are similar in that they both deal with
on very crazy person who gained a lot of power. One was Martin Vanger from the
girl with the dragon tattoo and from in the garden of the beasts you have Hitler.
