The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Essay

I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.

For the most part, the novel was very enjoyable. One aspect of it that I loved was that the storyline was extremely intense, which always compelled me to find out what would happen next. For example,

     Considering all the treatment methods used at Mclean Hospital, harsh physical treatments were rarely productive. Methods such as seclusion, ice-baths, Electro-shock therapy, and even the Hospitals atmosphere itself can make one wonder how anyone came out of there better than they went in. It seems odd that people teetering on the edge of sanity were subjected to such horrible treatments. Although such treatments sometimes worked, it in no way outweighs the horrible side

The book made me feel really engrossed until the very end. I was starting to get bored with Caleb being the new protagonist. I loved when Adam was the protagonist and he was against

As promising as the premise is the book simply could not deliver the speed or build up the tension needed to make it thrilling: the story started to

The book Girl, Interrupted is about a teenage girl Susanna Kaysen. At the age of 18 she voluntarily sent herself to the McLean hospital. In the beginning of the book the Susanna was talking to a psychiatrist she has been seeing for awhile, she has had a couple of suicide attempts so she started seeing that doctor. The doctor had recommended Susanna to go to McLean to help her be anti-depressive and help cure her borderline personality. Susanna ended up being in the hospital for 2 years.

2. Do you like the ending of this book? Why or why not? Do you think there is more to tell? What do you think might happen next?

I found this novel to be was just as enjoyable, if not more, than the first. Even though things began to become too convenient near the end, this

With that being said, lets talk about about why Book 2 was a disappointment for me. While I was reading, I felt the lack of character development, and since there is only total of 2 books in the series (when I read the first book, I thought there would be more, which make sense, because there were 6 boys and 1 girl), I can see why it would be difficult. In this book, we were told what each of the characters does for living and how each of the guys' braft encounter, interaction with Jaycee, but that was really all there were. Furthermore, relationship development was notably absence as well, it was rather strange to see how comfortable and easily Jaycee has accept to going into romantic relationships with 6 guys.

The history of the Vanger family that is presented is definitely not one most people wouldn’t be proud of. The family has deep roots in the Nazi party and one of the surviving members from that generation still proudly displays his Nazi memorabilia inside his own home, which we see in his home near the end of the film. The general atmosphere and tone that is presented is reflects the environment of the cold and depressing Vanger island, which seems to slowly engulf the two main characters. The island greatly heightens Mikael’s isolation and alienation from the rest of society since his major court

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) explores discredited journalist Mikael Blomkvist’s investigation of the forty-year-old disappearance of Harriet, the grandniece of retired CEO and billionaire Henrik Vanger. As the story unfolds, Mikael enlists the help of investigative agent and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (otherwise known as the girl with the dragon tattoo) in discovering the truth. Soon, they realize Harriet’s disappearance is only one piece of the puzzle; a link to the unforeseen evolution of a prolific, sadistic serial killer who happens to be Harriet’s brother Martin. The film is director David Fincher’s take on the novel of the same name written by Swedish journalist and author Stieg Larsson. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo encompasses themes of violence against women, the dichotomy between an outward façade and the underlying reality, and the corruption of an established authority.

“A kingdom is in turmoil as the old King Roland dies and its worthy successor, Prince Peter, must do battle to claim what is rightly his. Plotting against him is the evil Flagg and his pawn, young Prince Thomas. Yet with every plan there are holes – like Thomas’s terrible secret. And the determined Prince Peter, who is planning a daring escape from his imprisonment…” (very first page)

They did mention that since the book is shorter, that there is more frenzy to the pacing. Fans of the book liked that Feist was able to keep up with the returning characters, as well as create some new ones that were just as interesting. Fans found that all the scenes that Jimmy the Hand is in, he steals. The characters do not just rush into a room or dungeon and start slashing with their sword at things; they try to strategize and plan to produce the best outcome. Some readers found the book to be horrible, and only in existence for the author to bring the beloved characters back from the first time, with no thought of what to write. They also found the editing to be a problem and that the book was loaded with typos, that made it distracting to read. Some said that the book is full of more of the same cliches that populated the first book, as well as bad fantasy novels. People who did not like the book said there was no hook, no reason for them to read the

The ending of the book was very disappointing to me. I really enjoyed reading about how his mother was in pure denial and wanted to keep her son near her forever and how his father knew how hard it would be but he also knew that

Although I am a strong supporter of this book series, I do find one thing wrong with the books. All the novels have endings which are almost the same, Harry saves the day and Voldemort the major antagonist gets defeated in one way or another. Also only Harry and his friends seem to be the ones who go on adventures to defeat huge beasts or save family members from monsters known as dementors, this to me makes the novel slightly unappealing but still one of
