December Reviews

Movies

Woman with the Dragon Tattoo
*****

A writer under investigation for plagerism finds himself suddenly asked by a fan to help solve a family mystery. The family has a spotty past and a secrets of a said murder the haunts each member to their own deaths.

When I picked up the book, it was in Texas, but when seeing the actual movie, I was impressed. The action was good and the characters are true to the book. The movie draws out a lot of the book and also a lot of different things that did not happen in the book.

Books

The Girl Who Played with Fire
by Stieg Larrason
****

Lisabeth is back, but this time she's in trouble, her good friend, Mikael Blomkvist has his magazine back. He is on the verge of uncovering a massive human trafficking problem and it goes to the highest officials.

This book is rather dragged out a bit from the last, but it still holds the edge of a good mystery. The main character, Lizabeth is blamed for something she didn't do and you have to uncover who is doing it.
