Now, over forty years after her disappearance, Blomkvist is taking on the investigation with the help of his punk research assistant, the unforgettable Lisabeth Salander. This book will grip your attention with a captivating story that will chase you to a shocking ending. Stieg Larsson’s words are vivid and witty, leaving you with a story as animate and alive as life itself. All audiences will cheer on heroine, Lisabeth Salander for her unique obscurities and eclectic style. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is an original story unlike anything you have ever read.

Further motivation to read this book is that the American movie adaption has been recently released to theatres. I strongly suggest reading the book first as there are some gaps in the movie, and the book will give you a better understanding of the full story. However, both are beyond amazing!
Check out the movie trailer for a preview of the book, but remember, read the book first!

"Sometimes I feel so - I don't know - lonely. The kind of helpless feeling when everything you're used to has been ripped away. Like there's no more gravity, and I'm left to drift in outer space with no idea where I'm going" "Like a lost Sputnik?" "I guess so".
