3 days. 3 books. 15000+ pages.
Don't ever try this at home.


Seriously now, I'm exhausted. My eyes sting. I'm pretty sure I have bags under them. I have exams starting from the week after next to study for, but this has got to be one of the most rewarding impulsive thing I've done this year.

I feel so close to the characters, they've practically took over my brain for 3 days straight. Now that it's all over I miss them dearly. Especially Lisbeth, the kick ass hacker. She's so cool, she even pulled a Beatrix Kiddo. (This isn't really a spoiler)(And if you don't know who Beatrix Kiddo is, shame on you)

Yes. So if anyone out there is sitting on the fence about reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" read it. Clean out your schedule for the next couple of days and enjoy it. It is a bit slow at the start, but once you get over the introductions and the obvious foreign names, it's quite a ride.

Reasons why I like this book:
-good plot: CHECK.
-kick ass female lead: CHECK
-crime (genre): CHECK
-involves hacking (of the coding kind): CHECK
-some lady-love: CHECK
(note: SOME. As in, this should not be the sole reason why you're reading this book)

ps. Has anyone seen the movie?
