The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg LarssonMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
"...if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good-report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." (A of F #13)
I will not finish this book. It is dark, it is disturbing, it is totally inappropriate and I do not want to pollute my mind with such filth. The language is horrible, the story is gut-wrenching, and there is nothing that is uplifting or virtuous about it.
There is part of me that has been sucked in and I really want to know how the story ends, but I will put the book down because I do not want to know the rest of the story bad enough to have to put up with all the horrible things in it.
The characters (even the protagonists) are sexually promiscuous, foul-mouthed, and disturbing. I know that the main girl character was subject to some major trauma in her life shaping her into what she is and what she does, but that does not justify her behavior to me. And don't even get me started on the antagonists. Holy smokes. They are awful, horrible and monstrous.
I love a good story, but the way this book gets under my skin and makes me feel so unsettled is not good. Therefore, I will not continue reading it.
And I do not recommend it to anyone.

Have you read Water for Elephants yet? It's along the same lines... Lots of language and SUPER inappropriate parts. Don't read it. It's one you'll probably be put down, although it's hard to do so.
