Two and a half star rating.Bleak and chilling, based on a real individual, Peter Manuel, dubbed Scotland’s first serial killer. Not a nice man at all and most of the other people in this book weren’t particularly pleasant either. The start of this story is like being thrust into a conversation which...

Hey everyone! So, I'm back with a new post and it's going to be another review! Yay, I'm currently working through my fourth book for the month. So, for today I'll be reviewing "Garnethill" by Denise Mina. About: The Story is about a woman name Maureen O'Donnell who woke up on morning to find h...

I had no idea this was book 3 in a series until now. That might make a difference in how I feel about it. I just have not been enjoying it as much as I had hoped, or even as much as the praise on the book cover said. Now I know what might have helped contribute... being book 3. Then again, I felt li...

It was okie.There was a lot of jumping that wouldn't make sense if you hadn't already read the original Stieg Larsson book.There were times when I didn't even follow.... wait.. what happened..?Don't read this book to replace the original. You'll just be confused, which is such a shame since book one...

Lizbeth!Lizbeth!Lizbeth!Awesome to see this story as a graphic novel. The illustration is beautiful and the interpretation is very well done with minor tweaks to keep it moving.

I was curious about this graphic novel since I loved the book trilogy. This is third and last graphic novel, but I have read the book so I didn't have any problem reading The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest. What I did have problem with was the art, it was really terrible. It's like who cares a...

I chose this one next because I wanted to read about a female detective. The Silkworm made me crave more mysteries and this one sounded very interesting.My feelings for this book are conflicted. I liked it, because of the characters in the story (you know me and well-written characters by now!) but ...

Absolutely stunning artwork. I've have read the novel and seen the Swedish and American films, and this graphic novel adds an amazing new depth to the work. Some of the storylines were tweaked slightly and some of the dialogue was confusing to pick up on, but overall this was amazing. I was a little...

The book is set in the 1980s, when a toddler called Brian Wilcox gets kidnapped and is found brutally murdered a few days h...

So, like all the other Larsson / Millennium exports to date I devoured this latest installment (at the time of writing this review) like it was a piece of cake (or any other delicious eatable you can conjure up for yourself). Granted, these graphic novels are not perfect, but I still enjoyed Vol. 2 ...
