The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I finished this book and was quite impressed with it. The beginning of the book was rather slow and was hard to keep interest, however, it picked up fairly fast. There were several different plots unraveling all at once and it was easily exciting and very entertaining. Although I was surprised at how fast they solved the mystery in the book because there were still a hundred or so pages left at the end. The last part of the book started to engage me again, but it was similar to the beginning of the book...boring.
This book did receive a lot of hype, but I am not sure if it was well deserved. It was a good book don't get me wrong...I was just a little disappointed because it was perceived to be the best book ever!

Poison Study

Yeah...I have finished my first book, Poison Study, but I won't be receiving any points yet. I have to read another book along with this one to receive points.

So...I finished this book fairly fast and it was a good read. I thought the book started off with a good plot, however, there were times in which it was rather boring. The strength of some parts of the plot is what kept me reading the book. The main character Yelena is still a mystery to me and still a mystery to herself which leads me into wanting to read the next book of the series. I just hope that it is able to keep me interested by getting into who she really is, and not leaving a lot of unanswered questions yet again.

This book was a good start to my reading challenge, however, it will be awhile before I desire to read the next book. I definitely can live without reading it for several days to come...LOL
