The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

This book is very addictive. In the first part it carefully sets up the story piece by piece, and after a while you just watch in amazement as it all comes together. The characters are well fleshed out and act the way you'd expect them to act.

Both Michael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander's side of the story are interesting to read. I enjoyed when both threads were written in parallel, jumping from one to another inbetween paragraphs. What I think this book excels at is pacing.

When I say I couldn't put the book down, I mean it. When the dominoes started to fall, I had a hard time stopping to read. I'm a little afraid to buy the next one...
