I finally read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo after four years. The book is amazing, I will admit, and in honor of such a wonderful heroine, here are the book’s covers!

About The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:

Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of iniquity and corruption. (From the back cover)
