2 Sentence Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson

April 22, 2010

By Marvin Fein

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire, the first two books of a trilogy (the third coming out on May 25th and available now for pre-order) and really much more of a character study than your ordinary crime novels and proof that crime novels can be literature in spite of what Grisham and Patterson have done to dumb down the genre. And oh what a character-Lisbeth Salander is by far the greatest bisexual, tattooed, butt-kicking, 98 pound motorcyclist in the history of fiction.

I heard these books were meant to be good but I hadn’t considered reading them until I read the review. I may have to consider getting them…when I have money again.

I always love the novels of John Grisham, they are full of suspense and surprises ..
