For my first Crime/Mystery novel, I'm really glad I chose to read this book. The two main characters, Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander, are both interesting enjoyable to read about. Especially Lisbeth. She's the badass of the story. The plot is simple. Corrupt wealthy family, one member goes missing, and the rest are suspected for committing the crime. Who dun' it? You want to learn more about the investigation every time there's a little bit more progress. This book is a bit slow for the first few chapters, but it's worth it after that. This book was awesome. I definitely plan on reading the rest of the series.
