I started The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by listening to the audio book. I got hooked and I wondered why I did not join the Millenium bandwagon when the series took off several months back. I could not get enough of the first book. I stopped listening and started reading because I could focus more. I went straight to the second in the series, The Girl Who Played Woth Fire. It ended smartly in that i wanted to read the third and last book right away.

The trilogy is one of the most riveting series I ever read. It is not literature true, but it is very entertaining. I rooted for Lisbeth despite the fact that the character is flawed and not very likable. Yet i wanted to be like her, driven, skilled, unemotional, logical, tough. When i finished the book, i knew it was going to be difficult finding another book that will be hard to put down.

For entertainment value, i give the trilogy 4 stars. For literary content, 3 stars.
