The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Stieg Larsson's awsome book "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" - the first book in the Millennium Ttilogy - is certainly an incredible read. It leaves one has a thirst as to what the remaining two books in the trilogy are like. It is easy to see why this book has sold more than 26 million copies worldwide. The characters are quite outstanding, the mysteries that one confronts quite incredible and the ending quite satisfactory.

My interest in this book came about after first seeing the film - Swedish with English sub-titles - and reading that Hollywood was to make a version with Daniel Craig. I found the film to be extremly good and the book, which explained some of the things not quite apparent in the film, to be a very good companion to the film.
