Henry reviewed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson (Millennium, #1)

I spent 4 hours finishing the book, then I went for a run.

5 stars

The first half captured me, the second half was…insane. I picked an intense read for my first fiction book in years. When I finished, all I could do was grab my running shoes and go for a run, even though I already ran in the morning. It was a lot to process, and I needed the run to work through it.

Heavy, dark, insightful, scary, and beautiful. So happy I read it. And the broad theme of violence (and hatred) towards women is beautifully crafted into the story.
