BOOK REVIEW

MEN WHO HATE WOMEN

(Lakshay Raja)

The actual title for the Swedish book ‘the girl with the dragon tattoo’. When was the last I got my hands on a book that challenges all the aspects of a society or a nation? Maybe, never before. A Swedish writer who comes up of nowhere and writes something, anyone would mistake it to be his thirtieth plus novel.

The first book in the Millennium trilogy and first of the three books Stieg Larsson ever wrote before he died unexpectedly, soon after delivering the trilogy to his publisher, the book got me gripped right until the last page. Words, that arouse the curiosity to know of the functionality of cooperations, quotes that cleverly target upon the blind faiths and events that would make you learn and know more of the world around you and all what goes inside a person when put into a situation, all of that experience, sitting in a room and with this masterpiece in your hand. 

RECOMMENDED FOR? - Surely not for a below 14. Or most of the times either you would be wondering, ‘does all that really happen?’ or ‘Why do they not get to the point and keep it all easy?’

RATING - Five on five for me. Might differ for you completely if you are not into reading something that would take almost hundred pages before rising into the action.

WORTH STARTING THE TRILOGY? - Definitely. Worth giving the first book a try.  

WHERE DOES IT LACK? - If you are not into reading a complex plot or understand way too many characters or figuring the wrong guy/girl through the entire story, this might be a big disappointment.
