The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Review





The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first book of a breathtaking crime trilogy from Stieg Larsson. It is a violent and terrifying story that reveals a cruel reality. 

A Terrifying Investigation


Mikael Blomkvist is a journalist who finds himself deep in a complex situation of corruption and lies that lead to a lawsuit. He takes some time away and takes an apparently harmless investigation job.

This job pulls him into a harsh world of intrigue, deceit, and brutality, where a teenage girl disappears under mysterious circumstances. 


The Girl with the Dragon Tatto


Lisbeth Salander is our girl—a troubled young woman with a troubling past and unique talents. 

She is a charismatic character with a bit of fantastical flair that makes us question many of our stereotypes. 

She and Mikael lead an addictive story with an unpredictable ending that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. 

A Harsh Reality


The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo exposes a harsh reality that is so uncomfortable that it's easier to overlook. The true antagonist is expertly concealed behind someone you would never suspect. 

This book tests our emotions to the limit. Your heart will beat faster and faster as you unstoppably read more than twenty chapters, one after the other. 

Stieg Larsson is an interesting author who makes you read more than 500 pages in a few days and still want more.

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

  The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

Gender, Power, and Cigarettes: Why 'Mad Men' Still Resonates

  Mad Men is a masterpiece of television that blends sharp storytelling with striking period detail, offering a reflective glimpse into the 1960s.  The series follows Don Draper and the high-stakes world of Madison Avenue advertising, all while painting a vivid picture of the era's societal norms, especially the rampant sexism and rigid gender roles.  It's both mesmerizing and infuriating, particularly in its honest depiction of how women were treated. Strong Emotions The show’s brilliance lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions—its subtlety, exceptional writing, and rich characters draw you into a world that feels both foreign and disturbingly recent.  The meticulously crafted period aesthetics are complemented by historical undercurrents, from civil rights to cultural shifts, which remain integral yet never overshadow the deeply personal dramas of the characters. Wait For the Impact Mad Men doesn’t rely on flashy plot twists; instead, it uses nuanced storyte...

The Lying Life of Adults - Review

  The Lying Life of Adults shows us, once more, that the teenage years and growing up can be painful.  Giovanna is the main character of this story, and she is feeling all the fast changes adolescence demands in a deeply divided town. Before this situation, her body and her opinions and desires are changing fast. Perhaps, too fast. Parents aren’t perfect. It is usually in those teenage years that we realize our parents aren’t perfect. They are humans with all the flaws that that implies. Giovanna is no different. Her parents are not as she thought they were, and her perfect family isn’t perfect at all. Those adults, those references that she admires, hide things, lie, and do things that she considers wrong. They are like everybody else. They are not heroes. When we realize that our parents are not the superheroes we believed they were when we were very young children, it can hurt.   Why is it so important? Because when we realize they also can fail, with the destruc...
