Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ch. 4-6

In the beginning of the book i understood why Elizabeth was running away from the Russian authorities because she had done so many horrible things there so she went to the united States for safety. Now i am in the middle of the book and it is getting very confusing, the FBI has recruited her, a thief and crazy lady who is not even a US citizen to help them solve a murder case that nobody could solve. So my questions are why would they ask her to do such a thing where just by taking one look at her people think she belonged in jail. I mean i understand she was one of the best police officers in Russian until she went crazy. The murder that she is trying to solve is a case that has been closed for over 40 years and has now been reopened because she came. A wealthy mans daughter was murdered during a parade when she was only 16 years old and back then they couldn't figure out who had done it but now Elizabeth believes she has found the killer, maybe she is not so bad.

I absolutely love the book Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The intense action and amazing descriptions make me want to keep reading it. This book so far has been one of the best books i have read all year and i recommend it to any reader.

Reading Skills

Some predictions and questions i have on the book Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are how does she already one the first page have trouble with the government. Also how can she just run off without telling anyone anything about where she is going. One prediction i have about how she might have already gotten into government trouble is if she had stolen quite a bit of money from more then one back or jewelry store to help her live on her own, which then led her to run off without telling anyone. A text-to-world connection is the type of government system they have in her city, the have a direct democracy just like our government system. A text-to-self connection is so far in the book the main character is always confused about what to do and where to go which i do all the time. A text-to-text connection is the amount of action and mystery in the first chapter of this book acts like the action and mystery in my summer reading book Just After Sunset. Already in the beginning of each book there was a problem.

My independent novel is called Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I have seen the movies before so i sort of knew what to expect from the book. So far the book is a lot different than i expected it to be, like compared to the movies, but it still so far is a really good book. This trailer does show a lot of what is in the book as well as in the movie it also makes you want to read the book and watch the movie after you have seen this trailer.
