The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a masterwork of fine craftsmanhip. When I reached the final page I was disappointed that there was no more to read. I did not want the story to end. The characters are too intriguing for this to be the end.

This international best seller and is set in Sweden. It takes a little effort to get accustomed to all the Swedish names and places but then the story moves with lightening speed. There are two key plots happening simultaneously. In one, a Swedish financial investigative journalist publishes a libelous attack about a powerful industrialist and is sentenced to jail, fined a ruinous sum, and has his career torn to shreds. Another industrialist, Vanger, hires the journalist to investigate the 36 year old disappearnace of his then 14 year old grand niece. There has been no trace of her in all these years and she is assumed dead. Yet, every year on his birthday, he receives a mysterious gift of a pressed flower, mimicking a gift his missing grandniece used to give him when she lived there. Vanger, an old man, is tormented by the flower gifts, and wants one more chance to find out what happened to her and who killed her. What the journalist uncovers about the Vanger family’s hitherto unknown secrets and connections to the Nazis, will have you hanging on the edge of your seat.

A great fun series to read with your children!!

Ok…I have to admit when my son asked me to read him this set of books I was less than thrilled. After all how interesting could a boy find a book about cats? I was sure that it was doomed to failure. However, as I beagan to read I was truly captivated by the simple yet descriptive writing style of Erin Hunter. I was even more impressed by the way it captured my son’s attention and gave us hours of father son time that we both truly enjoyed. You and your family will love this series!

What an unbelievable book! Just what the doctor ordered! Steve Chandler gives a whole new perspective on life. What this book does is incredibly simple, yet truly powerful. It helps you to realize there really is no ”fixed personality”. It encourages you to believe in a bigger, more positive self-concept. I now see things with greater clarity and with a sense of humor that I never even knew I possessed. Trust me you want to get ReInventing Yourself and find out for yourself! Just click the image above!
