>The Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson

>
There are three books in the series The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest and I read all three like a mad person… not keeping them down for anything… Finished them in record time and after I finished the series I had Slander withdrawal symptoms

Slander in case u are wondering is the main lead in all three books… “The Girl”… a girl who has had a bad childhood, is under guardian ship and is raped by her guardian, is a superb hacker, has a photographic memory and a way with numbers… The series takes us through her association with a go getter journalist Mikael Blomkvist who will do anything to uncover a story and is a born flirt with an infamous relationship with his co editor Erica who is BTW happily married

The series keeps one glued to see whats happening next as one scam after the other unfolds as things like sex trade, religious fanatic psychopaths and events of Slanders past which could be a national scandal unfold… A good thriller after ages…The third one got a little boring but on the whole a series that I really enjoyed reading

The author has weaved a brilliant tale and what a misfortune that he is not alive to see the success his books are making, infact as a matter of fact the books have been published post his death

And yeah I hear there is a movie being made of it too

Last Words : A excellent gripping thriller after ages and that too with a female lead what else could one ask

Rating : 3.5/5
