The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Essay
The last 200 pages of this book brought a very wanted ending to the first novel of the trilogy.

If she were to shy from her normal social behavior that she exhibits on page 236: “Salander found herself on the fringe of the group and rarely contributed to the talk.”, then she would be able to get her life back on track.
