Blurb on "The Girl Who Played with Fire" by Stieg Larsson
Lisbeth Salander, ‘The Girl Who Played with Fire’ is drawn in super human proportions by Stieg Larsson. In many ways, she reminds me of Lucy, the prodigiously gifted niece of fictional Dr. Kay Scarpetta of Patricia Cornwell's books. Gifted with great looks, mathematical and technical talent and athletic body, Lisbeth, much like Lucy can survive improbable situations with all the odds against her. However, besides this little weakness, the book reads well, capturing and retaining reader’s attention. There is plenty of gripping action, pathos, romance, and mystery to keep readers of varying interest engaged. I was intrigued and interested enough to have put the first novel in series, ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ on hold at the local library.
