The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by
Stieg Larsson is an altogether
pleasurable and smooth read, even in spite of the frequent, overly burdensome
exposition and a vast proliferation of details almost too numerous for the
reader to continually to keep in mind, requiring an extra dosage of
concentration while reading.
As for the character of Lisbeth Salander, she is one of the most
fascinating, inescapably magnetic characters in modern fiction, a curiosity or
enigma that sucks us into slavering to learn more about her.
The author Stieg Larsson passed away on November 9, 2004.
