Book Review
I refer to my Blog regarding my reading of Stieg Larsson’s “ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and the two others in the Trilogy. As requested by several persons who looked at my Blog, I give this as my impression of the books. I have finished the first, and look forward to the remaining two. As mention by others, if they are as good as the first they will be worth the read.
I am not a professional viewer, but, if I were, I would be hard pushed to give an opinion without giving the ’game’ away. There are Seventeen expert reviews inside the cover of the first book:; all positive that it was an eye opener from a Swedish Author. I agree with them all.
The book I read has Murder, Finance, Stock Exchange, Sex ( of course) a Dysfunctional Large Moneyed Family, Law, Government and Travel. I recommend them as being a good addition to any library.

Book I am reading at the moment.
This is one of the trilogy by Stieg Larsson. I am half way through the first and it appears to be very good. I have a very varied appetite when into books, so this is one I hope is as good as when it was recommended to me. I have spend most of the day with it so will give a review when I have finished it. Comments would be appreciated.

The Kindle eBook Reader
Have heard a lot about these readers but never bothered with them. Just thought they were another flash in the pan. However, having viewed them and seen what they can do, I might change my mind and buy one........

Books, Reading.
- Talking with a friend last night it turned to the books we preferred. She likes Biographies of famous people, I like Travel and Adventure. We both have other interests as well with the Authors of other books.
- This led me into thinking how varied we are in almost every way. The way we live, think, hope, laugh and cry. What we have lived through, likes and dislikes........I could go on for ever...
- I have a house full of books. Almost too many. I had a few from a Charity Shop some time ago and just put them on a shelf and forgot them. I found one a few days ago and started to read. It is about the Saddam Hussain of Iraq era whilst getting together an Atomic Bomb and all the scientists involved , many from other countries.
- It is called 'Condition Black' by Gerald Seymour..... Compromise of experts, intrigue, so they could be forced to join the Country and help with the Atomic effort. Family life all comes into it. Too much to put here. 348 pages. JUst put it down to do this blog...........
