Allison (sockweasel) | 432 comments I just read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and completely loved it. I love it when a book pulls me in right from the first page, and the whole book is just a treat. Great book! I'm now starting the second in the trilogy, The Girl Who Played with Fire.

Kristin (kg05) | 310 comments I started Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on my flight back from Florida and got like 75 pages in but just wasn't into it and it sat around on my coffee table and I ended up reading other books. I need to go back to it eventually though because i really want to read it, and enjoy it.

I ended up rating it 5 stars but it took about 100 pages for me to really get into it.!

Before I read the book (or started reading) I saw a lot of people saying that it took awhile for the book to get going, which was why i am going to stick with it, but i just haven't been in the mood for it.. I really want to read some of my smaller/quicker books and get them off my shelves before I start this one, I have the second one also so i can just go right into that right afterwards.

I agree, but in the beginning she did say that they had two seperate accounts (or am i thinking of another book? lol i think it was this one though) and if you have two seperate accounts and he takes care of all of his money and if you aren't checking up on anything or having any financial problems then really there would be no reason to suspect..

When i was reading about a twist at the end I was thinking he was involved in some terrorist things or something like that, i never really saw this coming!

message 23917: by Maria (new)

Maria (minks05) | 481 comments i finished The Privileges by Jonathan Dee, and I have to admit i was disappointed a little. i thought the ending would be much better, based on the rest of the book, but it was so non-eventful and left so much open (to me, anyway) that it really disappointed me.

message 23926: by Betsy (last edited Jan 18, 2011 07:50AM) (new)

Betsy (mistymtladi) | 511 comments I've been on a book binge and finished Pillars of Iron (all 900 plus pages)The Worst Noel-Hellish Holiday Tales, and Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsan.Pillars of Iron was good with attention keeping characters and alot of middle age history well woven in. Bone Garden was a mix of Jack the Ripper type tale and a reincarnation romance mystery. I liked it alot,but it has to be your kinda book. The Worst Noel was a funny collection of short stories,and although there was nothing deep or profound about the majority of them,they were worth alot laughs.


message 23927: by Dani (new)

Dani (The Pluviophile Writer) (pluviophilewriter) | 237 comments I'm reading The Eye in the Door by Pat Barker right now. I keep my 'to-read' list update to date if anyone cares to take a look.

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Sword of the Prophet: The Mahdi of Sudan and the Death of General Gordon, half way and really interesting and very well written. Also started finally Suite Française. Not sure what I think about it for now. There is a lot of describing but not so much happened yet.


message 23946: by Christy (new)

Christy | 181 comments I couldn't get through Suite Française. I thought all of the characters were incredibly unlikable.


message 23947: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Mmmm, for now the characters feel all a bit....empty, maybe unlikable like you said. I hope the story gets better though, fuller. I mean the name this book has, I need to get more than what i got for now!


message 23948: by Alicia (new)

Alicia (kalypso) | 102 comments I am still reading Everything That Rises Must Converge. I am really enjoying it. It's totally different from what I expected. I just wish I had more time to read. Life keeps getting in the way.
