An Uncle's Obsession
Alison L. - 5 years 11 months agoMikael Blomkvist is a financial journalist who, after receiving information from an anonymous source, was recently convicted of libel. He steps down as publisher of the Millenium magazine and debates about selling his apartment. He accepts an assignment from Henrik Vanger to write a story about the Vanger family. However, his secret assignment is to uncover Harriet Vanger's murderer from roughly forty years ago. Mikael begins to read through the information that Henrik collected over the years. He also spends time with the family members who are still in the area. He ensures that his cover about the family story is kept in tact. When he returns from his short prison stay, he is visited by his daughter. Upon her departure, she triggers a thought that sends him down a path to look at the information a little differently. Mikael asks for an assistant, Lisbeth Salander...the girl with the dragon tattoo. The first few chapters of the book were difficult to get into. However, based on all of the hype, I trudged on and I'm glad I did! The book quickly became fast paced and I couldn't wait to see what would be uncovered next. The characters were well developed and I felt that I was part of the story trying to uncover what happened. It honestly took several turns that I did not expect, which I view as a great book! #SummerReading

Only if you have a lot of time..
Madison W. - 6 years agoThis book was SO long. It was either super easy to read or I was having to force myself to keep going. This could have easily been two separate stories because they really never came together even in the end. The one story regarding the family's history was so fascinating and suspenseful, but the other story regarding the business world was harder to read. #SummerReading

Worth the Read
JT O. - 6 years agoOne of the best stories ever written. It does not get better than two great and unique charachters solving a mystery. There is no shortage of twists. The beginning is a little slow but keep with it. #SummerReading

Excellent!!!
HEIDI G. - 6 years 1 month agoThis is one of my favorites. Gritty and a little graphic but this (and the others that follow) has quite the tale to tell.
