Larsson, Stieg. The girl with the dragon tatoo [series]
WOW this is the first adult fiction series I have read since I retired
and it is GREAT... for HS and maybe upper middle school. There are
three books in the series (maybe a fourth if the rights can be settled
-- author is deceased). The story is full of intrigue, and suspence.
At times I could not put the books down. In fact the last one had me
reading to way past midnight (used to go to bed at 10). The books are
violent at times and there are some rape scenes.. all are very
descriptive but nothing more terrible than HS kids are now reading.
The books are translated from the Swedish and take place mostly in
Sweden with unusual place names and a form of government different
than ours. Some pairs of characters have very similar names which
always drives me crazy! Why do authors have to do that! Even if you
don't put these in your library you have GOT to read them.
