The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson - part of the Millennium Trilogy

What Does the Back of the Book say:
Harriet Vanger, scion of one of the Sweden's wealthiest families, disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged Uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.

What I Thought?
I couldn't put it down. I was pretty much addicted to the novel. It starts out a little slow, laying out the characters however once you are pulled into the world of Blomkvist, Salander and the Vanger clan you cannot seem to be able to get out without finishing the book. I have not watched the movie (i like to watch the movie after I read the book) however I am looking forward to seeing it after how amazing the book was. I give it 5 out of 5!!!
