The Industrialist: Henrik Vanger, head of the dynastic Vanger Corp. is tormented by the loss of a child decades earlier and convinced that a member of his family committed murder.

The Journalist: Mikael Blomkvist delves deep into the Vangers' past to uncover the truth behind the unsolved mystery. But someone else wants the past to remain a secret and will go to any lengths to keep it that way.

The girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Lisbeth Salander, the enigmatic, delinquent and dangerous security specialist, assists in the investigation. A genius computer hacker, she tolerates no restrictions placed upon her by individual, society or the law. (back cover)

I spent 4 hours finishing the book, then I went for a run.

5 stars

The first half captured me, the second half was…insane. I picked an intense read for my first fiction book in years. When I finished, all I could do was grab my running shoes and go for a run, even though I already ran in the morning. It was a lot to process, and I needed the run to work through it.

Heavy, dark, insightful, scary, and beautiful. So happy I read it. And the broad theme of violence (and hatred) towards women is beautifully crafted into the story.

Review of 'Verblendung' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Ich habe mich beim Lesen von all dem Rumsitzen und Kaffeetrinken der Protagonisten blenden lassen und die eigentlich offensichtliche Enthüllung aus den Augen verloren. Man ahnt schon etwa nach der Hälfte des Buches, dass Harriet Vanger noch lebt.

Review of 'Uomini che odiano le donne' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Ho capito che questo libro era un capolavoro la notte in cui non riuscii achiuderlo fino alle 4.20 del mattino, quando mi ricordai che il mattino dopo mi sarei dovuto svegliare alle 6.30.Sappiate che quando aprirete "Uomini che odiano le donne" episodi del genere vi capiteranno molto spesso, perché questo libro rende letterariamente bulimici ed è una cosa che a me personalmente non capitava da molto tempo.
Inoltre, nessun libro, una volta finito, mi aveva mai fatto correre in libreria la domenica mattina per comprarne il seguito...
