The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Steig Larsson


So for the slay that series read-a-thon, i was going to read the entire millennium series, but i couldn't even finish this book, so that was a bust. The girl with the dragon tattoo tells the story of Swedish reported Mikeal Blomvkist, who has got himself into a lawsuit for publishing false stories about a powerful businessman. In order to get the heat off of himself, he takes a job on Hedeby Island under Henrik Vanger, who wants him to find out what happened to his missing niece.


Everyone told me about the trigger warnings in this book, but I never thought it would be that bad. I was wrong. Reader beware, there is a lot of rape in this book. it's absolutely disgusting. I really only felt two emotions while reading this book, and those were disgust and boredom. The book would talk for pages about business ventures that I didn't care about, and then a horrific rape scene would just come out of nowhere. The ending also angered me to no end. I wont spoil it, but it's horrible. I wouldn't reccommened this book to anyone, and I only gave it two out of five stars because the character Lisbeth Salander is my queen. Other than that, I see no redeeming qualities to this book.

As a little disclaimer, since I this is the first book I've given a negative review of one here, these reviews are strictly my opinions. Some people may really like this book, and that is okay.

Thanks for reading another on of my reviews, I'll see you guys later with more
