Not what you'd think. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is like no character I've read in years. If she'd stayed in school, she'd have been a "geek" ... one of those people who intuitively understand computers, the web, and how to manipulate them. She's at the same time asocial an endearing. The journalist Blomkvist is supposedly the main protagonist, but Lisbeth steals the show.

Some may have trouble initially with the Swedish names & places ... but that passes, and Blomkvist is the only "foreign" name you'll keep seeing. It's worth the effort to get through the first 50 pages ... and then it's a great read.
