The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson This is an outstanding mystery that will hold your attention to the very last word. Fictional investigative journalism at its very best. I mentioned in my review on Three Seconds http://bookrevues.blogspot.com/2011/0... That there seems to be a wealth of good stories coming out of Sweden. Well this is definitely one of them. As a journalist Mikael Blomkvist demonstrates ethics and tenacity that is seldom seen in real life. If only the main stream media would take a page from Mikael’s fictional portfolio of ethics. His tenacity in the face of daunting adversity was a joy to read. Lisbeth Salander might be a character that is hard to believe for some readers. I have been privileged to know a young woman who could have been the role model for this character sans the dragon tattoo. A word of caution, do not ever underestimate a woman due to her size, demeanor or gender. Having been a computer professional for 25 years, I felt that Larsson did a good job on explaining hacking without getting technical. It was a bit of a struggle to get into this book but much like my favorite California Screaming coaster, once you get going there is no going back and it is a heck of a ride. I strongly recommend the book!
