"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," by Stieg Larsson is starting to get to a point where I can't put the book down. It has action, violence, suspense, and just about everything else you can imagine. The investigation of Harriet Vanger is in full sale, and Bloomkvist is enlisting the help of Salander to help with research.
What I found the most interesting was the fact before each chapter, the page said that in Sweden, 13% of women were sexually abused by their boyfriend. I think that this is one of the themes of the book, since Lisbeth Salander struggled was personally affected by this. To expand, my first idea of the book was how big business was taking advantage of the middle class; it seems that the issue now is how people take advantage of other people for personal gain.
It first started with someone deliberately giving incorrect info to Mikael Bloomkvist; it's continuing with Lisbeth getting raped by her guardian/trustee that was appointed by the government; Now it's proceeding with Mikael dealing with the murder of Harriet Vanger. This book is no doubt crazy, however, it is extremely entertaining and thought provoking. Beneath the captivating story line, there's something deeper, more meaningful in this book than that.
