The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

This book was a fairly good thriller, although the character developments seemed a bit strange and disjointed and unexplained. I definitely enjoyed the thriller-mystery hybrid, although I will say, the fact that a cat is tortured and killed, even a fictional one, rubs me very much the wrong way. I almost couldn't finish the book because it bothered me.

The book is kind of camel-like, since you have the initial mystery and then a "mystery solved" resolution of the conflict that started the book. So, I suppose it would be more sandwich-like.

If you don't know Sweden or Stockholm, you'll be lost -- lots of familiar references to countryside places and city districts that make those who have no clue about the area go "...What?" over and over again.

Not a bad book though.
