"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
So, I finally finished this book. Since becoming a stay at home I figured that I would have more time to read but it is the opposite. I have less time. So, here is my first book review.
1.Why do you think Blomkvist decided not to publish the truth about Martin Vanger? Do you think he did the right thing?
~ I am not sure if it was the right thing to do or not. I believe he didn't publish it because he had already made a promise to Harriet that he wouldn't do anything that would cause her anymore harm and he is a man of his word. With Martin being dead, I don't think there was a big enough reason to expose Martin of what he did. If Martin was still alive then that would have been a whole new story.
2.What did you make of the final scene of the book, where Salander saw Blomkvist with Erica Berger? Had you hoped that Salander and Blomkvist would stay together?
~ The last scene broke my heart. I had hoped that Salander and Blomkvist would become a couple. I felt really bad for Salander.
3.In Swedish, the title was Men who Hate Women, but it was changed to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo when it was translated to English. Which do you think is a more fitting title?
~ They both fit the book fairly well. The Swedish title doesn't show up in the book until later but the English title shows fairly early. Both titles are big parts of the book and either one would be good at the title for the book.
4.Why do you think Nazism was such an undercurrent in the Vanger family?
~I don't think the Vanger family in whole support the Nazis. Showing the Nazi traits in the one family member helped show just how deranged he was.
5. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5. It was a good book but the first chapter was hard to get through.

Happy Birthday to ME!
So, Friday was my 27th birthday. Yay! I suppose. I was happy that I didn't gain this week on my weigh in. I didn't loose either but just stayed the exact same weight. That is ok. Hopefully I will loose again this week. My youngest one woke up this morning with a fever so I didn't get to the gym. Boo.
