I couldn't put this book down. I can't remember how or why I came to be reading it, it's not something I would usually choose, but I think the fact that Jennifer Lawrence was going to play Serena in the film this year made me automatically assume it would be good! It didn't disappoint and, neither did the film although based on the length of the book, the film version was obviously drastically shortened.
I enjoyed it, it was very easy reading. I wish it had gone deeper into exploring her ‘flaws' in the eyes of society. I found the co-living situation veeeeeeery strange and borderline abusive. I like the overall message of the story and the writing style. I save my 5 star ratings for books that leave an emotional imprint on me, and this book just didn't.
Even though it's a different author, I felt like the integrity of the series was kept, and I almost didn't notice it wasn't Steig Larsson writing.
