Book #3

Whilst reading 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' I was seriously debating whether to read the second book in the trilogy 'The girl who played with fire' that was until I got absolutely hooked on 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' and decided I just had to read it.....

So this weeks book is 'The girl who played with fire' by Stieg Larsson

What amazon say:

'In the second book in the Millennium sequence, The Girl Who Played with Fire (as in its its predecessor), Lisbeth's closest ally is the older journalist Mikael Blomqvist, even though she has abruptly ended her emotional relationship with him. Lisbeth has left all she knows behinds her and has begun a relationship with a gauche young lover. But after a grim revenge run-in with a man who has abused her, she becomes a suspect in three murders, and is the subject of a nationwide search. Blomqvist, however, is convinced of her innocence (he has just been responsible for a blistering report on the sex trafficking industry in Sweden), and is determined to help her – whether she wants his help or not.'

Lets give this a read....

Book review #2 - The girl with the dragon tattoo

Week two, time for another book review. This past week I've been reading Stieg Larsson's 'The girl with the dragon tattoo'

I'm going to start off by saying that this took me ages to actually get into, and if I didn't know the basic storyline I would have put it down and started reading something else. HOWEVER I continued to read on (a few of my friends told me to get through the first few chapters and then it gets good) and for me it got very exciting at chapter 16, and I couldn't put it down!

Let's introduce the characters:

* Mikael Blomkvist - Editor of a magazine (millennium) who writes a story on a shady high profile business man and ends up getting charged for a false story
* Eric Valgner - Wants to find out who murdered his brothers Granddaughter (Harriet) some years ago, so hires Mikael to help uncover the truth
* Harriet Vlagner - The 16 year old missing (presumed dead) Granddaughter of Eric's brother
* Lisabeth Salander - The girl with the dragon tattoo. A private detective, who later gets hired to help out Mikael solve the murder mystery

Now for the storyline:

Blomkvist gets fired from his editorial position, at his own magazine, for printing an untrue story on a shady business man. Eric Valgner sees the story and after some research (by salander) decides to hire Blomkvist to uncover the truth of Harriet's murder. After months of finding no new evidence Blomkvist wants to give up, but can't because of his agreement with Erin Valgner. However after a visit form his daughter, Blomkvist then discovers new evidence and asks for a little help in doing more research, cue Salander. The two dig up a lot of dirt on the Valgner family which doesn't amuse certain family members, however this doesn't deter either of them and they carry on with the task in hand. Eric Vlagner gets rushed to hospital with a heart attack so Blomkvist does everything he can to solve the mystery. But things don't turn out how everyone expected them too......

Towards the last third of the book I got completely hooked and couldn't wait to read the next page. This keeps you on your toes and is full of surprises!

Book #2

Time for a book. What I'm going to do is, every Monday I'll put up a post of what I'm going to be reading that week, then the following Sunday I'll post a review of said book :) I have another book review on my other blog if you'd like to read that too.

This week I'm going to read something that's been on my 'to read' list for so long and for one reason or another I never get around to reading it. 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' by Stieg Larsson.

What amazon say:

'I want you to find out who in the family murdered Harriet, and who since then has spent almost forty years trying to drive me insane” The Industrialist: Henrik Vanger, head of the dynastic Vanger Corporation, is tormented by the loss of a child decades earlier and convinced that a member of his family has committed murder. The Journalist: Mikael Blomkvist delves deep into the Vangers' past to uncover the truth behind the unsolved mystery. But someone else wants the past to remain a secret and will go to any lengths to keep it that way. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Lisbeth Salander, the enigmatic, delinquent and dangerous security specialist, assists in the investigation. A genius computer hacker, she tolerates no restrictions placed upon her by individuals, society or the law.'

Ready to give this a read :)
