The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. It was the first book I had picked up since I had stopped reading recreationally for a few years and it blew my mind. It was just so different from everything else I had ever read. Great mystery, and Lisbeth Salander is so badass and amazing.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catchâand thereâs always a catchâis that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larssonâs novel, but there is at least one constant: you really donât want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo.
I tried reading this once, but I was so bored that I gave up. Iâve heard that if you make it through about 100 pages it picks up, is that true?
Tell me about the first adult book that you liked outside of school!
