The Girl Who Played With Fire

by Stieg Larsson, 2009
(first published in Swedish in 2006 and translated - published in English in 2009)

I ve just finished reading this book. It took me only several days..

I didnt know about the writer as well as the book before. I found it during MPH Sales, read the synopsis at the back, decided to give it a try and Wow! It was irresistible! Once I start reading, I can't put it down!

It is a crime novel. The main character is "Lisbeth Salander" - a petite (4 feet something, weight about 90 pounds) girl who never finishes high school, portrayed as an introvert and peculiar character, reported as incompetent and psychopath by  Social Welfare but she has a photographic memory and she is a world class computer hacker! - I totally like this not-the-stereotype-image-of-a-crime-investigator kind of character :)

I think the "Lisbeth Salander" character (as well as the whole story) is very well written by the author. I could actually visualize it in a movie...imagine the character in a movie. You know, like..they-should-make-a-movie-of-this-book thinking..until I found out ( a moment ago) that not only this book has been sold millions! it is the second book from the Millennium Trilogy (first one is The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo)..and of course they have made the movie of the books! (sadly they are in Swedish)..and ..moreover, the actress played the "Lisbeth Salander" has actually awarded the Best Actress for her character in the movies!!!

My next tasks are to buy the first and the third books
and to find the movies from the internet!(with English subtitle)

Oyasumi!
