Loved it. Was slightly put off seeing every Tom, Dick and Harry reading it on the train but now I can see why they were so engrossed!
Won't do a spoiler but would really recommend to anyone who likes thriller/crime type books.
I'm half way through the second one in the series now.

Lots of pompous reviewers trying to write like they are reviewing for The Times which is quite annoying - oh, and paraphrasing the main elements of the plot is not a useful mechanism for those wishing to help would-be readers. Suffice it to say that this didn't become the most spied book on the daily commute without a good reason. It's well written, with believable characters and an immersive plot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sometimes a day in bed with the aftermath of migraine can yield untold pleasure! This book had been recommended in the most positive terms and had sat by the side of my computer for several months whilst I was ( unbeknown to myself) awaiting a bad headache and the ironic oppportunity for a stretch of concentrated reading time. Although it is also a hard back version which perhaps put me off. How weighty it is with 533 pages! Yesterday I began and just kept going all afternoon and evening.... (read more)

There have been some seriously mixed reviews about this book, The Girl Who With The Dragon Tattoo, which seem to centre on what people are expecting from it when they by it. It's been tagged as a thinking person's crime novel and so I think a lot of people have bought it expecting it to be a serious piece of literature. While it is definitely one of the best crime books I have read, at the end of the day it's still a crime book and anyone who doesn't usually like the genre should probably... (read more)
