Thanks to my brother Thomas' recommendation, I read Stieg Larsson's trilogy! and all I can say is WOW! Amazing books, I really enjoyed them. I found them to be suprinsingly feminist. I say surprising because I find that it is rare to find popular novels like these, best sellers of the New York Times, to have such a strong theme about social justice and how women continue to be discriminated against today.
In his books, Larsson illustrates again and again how this struggle continues to happen to women, from the high paying corporate world to the enslaved sex workers brought to Sweden from East Europe. Don't be afraid though! The wonderful thing about these novels is that they are extremely entertaining and absolutely thrilling. Larsson is brilliant! he is able to bring up all these issues in a very natural and life like setting. As the novel develops, he presents his muse to you and main character Lisbeth Salander and seduces you. These novels deserve five stars!!! Highly Recommended.
