Hello readers!
WOW!
Talk about a book being way off in our perception.. no wonder you come across so many people reading the darn thing! Credit goes off to Fofinha for her pick.. i have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about reading something so mainstream, but here I stand corrected and totally hooked on the 'Millennium" trilogy (currently on the third and last book.)
I feel bad for the author not being able to enjoy so much success, I certainly hope he's got family and children who could enjoy some of the much deserved merit.
I liked the book, it contained all the elements to get you hooked, and not being able to put down the book (even though it was past 1 am sometimes and kept dozing off). You know you are dealing with a great book when while reading it, you can identify with the character, and can almost feel what this person is feeling when going through different situations, as it is the case of Lisbeth Salander. She is freaky and creepy, no doubt about it.. nonetheless, as you get deeper into the story and start to realize why she's turned out the way she did, you empathize with her, and can even relate with her feelings and actions of course.
I think the book should have kept it's original title 'Men who hate women', but alas, perhaps for marketing purposes something was lost in translation.
Overall a great, quick and easy read, even though a couple of the subjects it brings forward are no joking/light matter (rape, abuse).
Highly recommend it!
4Vs from me!
Sincerely,
Lolita Vague
