Kate’s 2¢: “The girl with the dragon tatoo” by Stieg Larsson

“The girl with the dragon tatoo” by Stieg Larsson

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I like reading stories by authors of other nationalities. Very often their approach is different from American writers. Maybe it is because their experiences, due to their culture, are not like mine.

Larson spent a lot of time developing first one main character and then the other. I began to wonder how and when these two characters would meet and how they would inter-act. As it turned out, they worked and played  very well together.
