The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

This book was captivating! A bit long, in the end, I felt, but I read it really fast. It was a compelling and intriguing story with intelligence and real storytelling. There were lots of characters to keep track of, but the author provided diagrams to make it easy.

The characters were great, especially Lisbeth Salander. I wanted to get to know her better. Apparently, she was based on the story Pippi Longstocking, but she is quite modernized, as a punkster who is also an amazing hacker and investigator.

Unfortunately, the author died in 2004 right before delivering the manuscripts for his novels. So there will be no more after the next novel, that was just released.

A great summer read!
