Well, I resisted this one for as long as I could, even after my book club decided to read it. I found I could not put it down, but then I remembered why I am always disappointed in mysteries--the denouement is almost never satisfying. I found that to be the case with _The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo_, but I did find that I really liked the main character (of the whole trilogy, Lisbeth Salander). My book club mates insisted that the first book is merely the prelude to the real story, and so I read on. I really had trouble putting the second book of the trilogy down, and so I recommend it if you are looking for something to pass the time. It's quite violent, so it's not exactly pleasant reading, but it is definitely gripping. It deals with violence against women, and I would really like to hear from someone who knows about that issue whether it's a serious and helpful treatment of the problem or not. My friends tell me the third book is the best, and so I guess I'll read on. Has any one else tackled these?

The teachers at my school have a book club and this is the book they chose. I bought it, but it's been sitting n my shelf, untouched for a while because it seems SO unlike my usual taste in books. I'll definitely dive in now :)

I read the first one in the series lat summer and couldn't put it down either. I had several other books on my list afterwards, however, and never followed up on books 2 and 3.
