So, I borrowed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from CityU in early November, and finished it off in a week.
The book is, without any doubt, exciting. Also, Stieg Larsson has mixed up the traditional and modern elements so well that a crime thriller should possess.
The protagonists have been intelligently designed. Mikael Blomkvist, a left wing journalist, is the incarnation of virtue, though sometime timid and fragile. Lisbeth Salander, an anarchistic hacker, has special talents but with flawed attributes. They are heroes, humanly ones.
All the characters are casual to sex, some are perverted. The scenes of Salander being raped by Bjurman are particularly breathtaking. However, I rather doubt that whether a woman, like Erika, could be peacefully shared between two men in reality. Unless there is only lust but love.
Overall, the plot has been logically and detailedly crafted. The labyrinth of the expanding list of victims, ended in the survival of the presumed death, is somehow fascinating.
That costed me a hundred bucks for Parts 2 & 3.
