Tattoo for Women
Girl Tattoos, Tattoo for Women, The first-time author's excitement at his creation is palpable, strangely, in the book's sometimes amateurish construction. There are frequent long digressions in this big book (more than 500 pages) in which he laboriously fills in back-story details. (...) To his credit, though, he always regains control and restores momentum. (...)There is, however, a disturbing transition as deep into the book this classic mystery about a young girl's disappearance takes an extreme turn and becomes a hunt for a serial killer who makes Hannibal Lecter look as threatening as SpongeBob SquarePants' pal Patrick." -
"Reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, in Reg Keeland's elegant translation, is a bittersweet experience. We are constantly reminded that an accomplished literary voice has been stilled." - Barry Forshaw, The Independent
