I read this book quite a while ago, but as I was going through my Goodreads list trying find something to post for today, I ran across it and all the memories came flooding back. It was such an intense, amazing read (once you got past the first 80-100 pages, that is). The slow start was definitely worth it, though.
There is only one scene in the book, that if I’d known it existed, I probably would have skipped the book. It traumatized me big time. But even with all of that, I’m not sorry I read it. It was an amazing read. So, if you haven’t read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, I highly recommend it.
I’ve been a little slow with my current read, so I had to look for this quote online. There were some pretty good ones and it was seriously hard to decide, so I hope you liked the one I picked!
“In the evening he went to the cinema to see “The Lord of the Rings”, which he had never before had time to see. He thought that orcs, unlike human beings, were simple and uncomplicated creatures.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Jenn at Books and a Beat.

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Great series!

I wanted to read the book, but ended up watching the movie in both the languages (swedish and english) it got released 😦 I loved the Swedish version very much.

I heard that one was much better. I watched the English version and it wasn’t very good, at least compared to the book. 🙂

I love the whole series and am contemplating to read the one that came out lately but by another author. Quite a controversy :-). Such a shame Stig Larsson passed away so early.

I saw that one on Goodreads when I found the quote. I’m not sure I want to read it. The series was so good, I would hate to mess it up by reading something that doesn’t quite measure up and I’m not sure I’m willing to take the chance. Lol

That’s exactly my reasoning but I liked the girl so much I want more of her so I’m in a little bit of a predicament here. Right now I’m back to the Shannara series anyway so I can leave the decision for a while 🙂

I’m in the middle of a book too, so I’m not making the decision yet either. Lol. Lisbeth is a fantastic character! 😊
