It was good. But I'm a slow reader.. I must admit that at first it was really boring that I stop reading it..Some terms are not familiar, it was a challenge for me to read from YA novels to something that I'm not really interested (government related topics + mystery)


Then there was an excitement solving Harriet Vanger's disappearance and Lisbeth Salander.
Lisbeth(she has piercings, tattoos, and wears black outfits)
is a very intelligent woman though her appearance and personality was so weird, I admire her because she could think fast. Despite of her traumatic experiences, she tried to trust others and learns to a sense of responsibility to clean her apartment. Thanks to Mikhael Blomkvist--> I don't understand him, he has many affairs. Erika Berger, Cecilia Vanger and even Lisbeth.

The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo is Lisbeth Salander, for me the story is not focused on her but Mikhael Blomkvist and Lisbeth just helped him throughout the mystery.


Though I'm a slow-reader on this. Surprisingly, it was my favorite now. My dad says that the movie is not that impressive and prefers the book.

Movie update:

American Version is quite better, but missed one scene from the book.
Swedish Version-- when it comes to completeness, I think this one is better.

Both are good. :)

Stieg Larsson
“Friendship- my definition- is built on two things. Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can have respect for someone, but if you don't have trust, the friendship will crumble.”
