A wonderful story!

I loved this book soooo much. I didn't want it to end! I also just read "The Kitchen House" by Kathleen Grissom, which was wonderful. It has some similarities to "The Help" with a little extra suspense and romance. And I'm not affiliated with the publisher or author--just an avid reader!

Great package

A Patriot's History of the United States: From Columbus's Great Discovery to the War on Terror
This is exactly what I have been looking for. Our history teaching has become so corrupted by omission and high probability that history don't count. This book is so well documented it could withstand critical scrutiny without even blinking.

OK, But Don't Understand All The Praise

The translation is TERRIBLE, with poor word choices, hackneyed phrases, and mixed metaphors. Changing the title from the original Swedish "Men Who Hate Women" is a bad mistake. AND the book needs some serious editing, to excise an overly long and uninteresting beginning and to punch-up the story when it degenerates into a lazy list of email exchanges toward the end.

But even with these flaws, I found "Dragon Tattoo" an interesting enough read to justify my time.

For me, much of that interest comes from the female protagonist in the story, who might be severely emotionally damaged but is also strictly moral and thus strangely appealing. She seems to be just about the only character that's well developed in the novel. And even for her, the author clearly doesn't think we're smart enough to figure out the genesis of her underlying quirks by ourselves, as he feels compelled to explain to us about mid-novel that she suffers from Asperger syndrome. Duh! Really? What a shock, NOW her behavior all makes sense (sorry, that was sarcasm there).

While I enjoyed the book enough to give it 3 stars, I don't understand all the enthusiasm and praise that the book has gotten. You want a quirky, broken, female protagonist and a ripper of a who-done-it story? Read "Dark Places" by Gillian Flynn, which I found to be a similar yet FAR superior novel.

If you're looking for a relatively interesting read, that WILL get you guessing about "who-done-it"... or you want to know what your friends are talking about when they discuss Lisbeth Salander... go ahead and read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Just be ready for some uneven patches, and an annoyingly bad translation (have you dictionary ready to look up "gallimaufry", when you encounter it).

No Spoiler Review

I'm 18 years old and I must say this is a great book. I, like most other older people who read this book, are big Harry Potter fans, hoping to fill that void. This book will do the trick. (Also, on another note, this review will be comparing the two books, as Harry Potter is the main reason I bought this book).

It's an easy read. I'd say about 7th grade reading level at the most. And it doesn't take that long to finish. I just read books 1-3 today and I jut got it about 8 hours ago. I'm not waiting on the 4th and 5th in the mail (what a long 2 days it will be!!!).

The book is definitely a more modern Harry Potter, even though Harry Potter was set around the same times. I think the modern twist gives it a true spark. It's fun because you can relate more the the characters.

The characters are also well developed. Perhaps not as much as Harry was by the 3rd book, but I think it's because we're only with Percy for short periods of times. It's cool though because you're not missing too much in between those times, and Percy doesn't drastically change in between books.

The other characters are kind of lacking as far as character development. I'd say, for as much as we see Grover in the 1st book and you get attached, he's barely their in the 2nd. The same for Tyson in the 2nd who was only mentioned in the 3rd book.

Besides those flaws, this is a great adventure book for those who liked Harry Potter. However, unlike Harry Potter which was developed for adults initially, this book is clearly for kids. However, I think if you're a younger adult (16-29) you should enjoy this book! I'm literally jittery for the next 2 books.

awesome finale to trilogy

The third book in the trilogy by Steig Larsson is an awesome conclusion to a fantastic read. I would recommend that anyone who has not started this trilogy to do so ASAP for unbelievable intrigue. I understand it has been made into a movie in Sweden. I'm hoping it will be released here at some point. It will be interesting to see the character of Salander on the screen.

Product Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series- the basis for HBO(r)'s True Blood-continues!

After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Faery War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's angry. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by the new Vampire King because of their relationship. And as the political implications of the Shifters coming out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to the Shreveport pack draws her into the debate. Worst of all, though the door to Faery has been closed, there are still some Fae on the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry...

Need Tea Reviews

If I thought the last book was packed with action, then this one has double that! It's non-stop wham wham wham one after another and I just ripped through this book in almost one sitting.

Ah, I loved this book. There were twists and turns I didn't expect, although I suppose they were very easy to spot early on but I suck at that sort of thing. The old Greek tales surrounding Daedalus were artfully crafted in the plot and were given a fresh perspective by the man in question himself. The tale of the labyrinth was also worked in as well.

In this book we get to see the conflict between Percy and Nico as he tries to get him to stand on their side, and his growing feelings for Annabeth. Don't get me wrong, it's very subtle, so you can rest assured that it won't overshadow the main plot. We also get to see him deal with jealousy, doubt, and of course, his own self-sacrificing flaw for others.

The book gets a tad darker as it deals with death, but if there was one neat quirk, it has very faint, faint trace of steampunk in it. Although I'm not sure if you'd even consider it steampunk.

Great story!
