Just finished this book and would highly recommend it! Found it difficult to put it down, wanting desperately to find out what happened to Cathy and Naomi!
I loved the fact that it flitted between the Cathy with Lee and the Cathy after Lee! It just made me want to read on and on.
An English author with her first novel - a book you just have to read!
An easy gripping read. A fast paced thriller that you can't put down. Chapters written from the view point of three different characters, which added to the plot and enjoyment of the novel.
Well what can I say about this book? It is intriguing, annoying, ridiculous and just plain weird. Never have I come across a book like this before but strangely I did enjoy elements and I know it will be a book I will remember for a long time.
Nine year old Rose discovers that she has a special gift, when eating food she can taste the emotions of the chef or the person who has prepared it. The emotions of others consume her whilst eating and affect her enjoyment of food. Her brother also starts to behave strangely and this causes disruptions within her family life. There are a lot of negative emotions weaved through the book and some shocking revelations around her brother's behaviour. You truly have to read it to understand the ridiculousness of the plot. It's a bit like Marmite, you will either love it or loath it.
This is the first volume in the Millennium Trilogy. Mikael Blomkvist (a journalist) and Lisbeth Salander (computer hacker) join forces to investigate the forty year old disappearance of Harriet Vanger. This leads to a number of decade-old grotesque murders and an unravelling of the Vanger's family history.
A thrilling read. Although it was difficult to get into the book the story line was fascinating with a good build up and ending. It was definitely a good crime thriller and as a consequence made me go out and buy book number 2.
