Book Review - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
 
A peculiar heroine emerges in this book as she doesn't fit the typical beautiful, statuesque woman with guts syndrome. Instead, she is a defiant, dangerously brilliant Goth chick with piercings in her face and a dragon tattoo on her shoulder. Throughout the book she doesn't realize that her passion for what should be right is as great as her passion to be left alone in her own unique universe with her own set of morals and ethics. The girl with the dragon tattoo surprises herself by teaming up with an embattled journalist to uncover the gross iniquities and horrors of two of Sweden's biggest journalistic stories ever to be told. This book was fantastically engrossing. It stood up to all the great things I had heard about it and that rarely happens. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Can't wait to begin the sequel.
