The Girl Who Read These Books



(Book Cover Images from Google Images)

If you couldn't already guess, I am the mysterious girl who has read these books.  If you haven't given in to the Lisbeth Salander hype, I strongly suggest that you do.  Lisbeth Salander is quite possibly the most frustratingly interesting character that literature has ever seen.  She defines the phrase "It's none of your beeswax" and no matter how many times you pry, its unlikely that she'll tell you her secrets.  The first book starts off slow (to be honest I skimmed through some financial mumbo jumbo in the beginning) but once you get through the first fifty pages or so, I promise Lisbeth and her infamous frenemie Mikael Blomkvist will have you hooked.  Each book has a better twist than the next and I promise that by the time you finish Hornet's Nest you'll be wishing that you had half the computer savvy that Lisbeth does.  This review does come with some warning.  Late night reading in dark and creaky apartments can lead to some imagined intruders.  Get your hands on the books before the movies come out and sweep Hollywood by storm.
