So recently I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I was a bit skeptical at first, because much of his books' successes seem to be based on Larsson dying right after submitting them, and because I saw a poster for it in Barnes and Noble (which usually signals a stinker).
But I was wrong! This book was gripping and well-written. The pacing is very slow at first (though this may be because he is Swedish) but picks up to some insane suspense in the final chapters. One warning: things get crazy. B-A-N-A-N-A-S crazy.
Anyway, I'm excited for the next book in this trilogy to come out in paperback, and for the final book to be translated into English. Publishers, get off your butts!
