Summary From Goodreads:

The magical new novel from number one bestseller Cecelia Ahern. Tamara Goodwin has always got everything she's ever wanted. Born into a family of wealth, she grew up in a mansion with its own private beach, a wardrobe full of designer clothes and all that a girl could ever wish for. She's always lived in the here and now, never giving a second thought to tomorrow. But then suddenly her dad is gone and life for Tamara and her mother changes forever. Left with a mountain of debt, they have no choice but to sell everything they own and move to the country. Nestled next to Kilsaney Castle, their gatehouse is a world away from Tamara's childhood. With her mother shut away with grief, and her aunt busy tending to her, Tamara is lonely and bored and longs to return to Dublin. When a travelling library passes through Kilsaney Demesne, Tamara is intrigued. Her eyes rest on a mysterious large leather bound tome locked with a gold clasp and padlock. What she discovers within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its' core.

Review:

Ok I pick this book up because I loved PS I Love You. But this book is totally different and it is actually pretty good. I really like the main character, she totally speaks her mind and you can relate to her. I finished this book in a day because I could not put it down. The ending was a total shock to me, and the only thing that I didn't really like in this book is how Ms. Ahern didn't explain about the diary. Anyways, I really did enjoy this book and I defiantly recommend this to 15 and up.

Review of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Title: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Author: Stieg Larsson
Published: September 16th 2008
Pages: 845
Rating: 3.5/5

Summary from Goodreads:

Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo.

Review:

To tell you the true I didn't really like this book in the beginning. But I stayed with it and OMG it was good. This book is about a crime that happened forty some years ago and I was shocked about the outcome. Maybe I was slow but I had no clue who and what how the crime happened. But it took me awhile to start liking this book because of all the mumbo-jumbo stuff at the beginning. Anyways, I really like this book and I will be going to read the others, just to see how this three part series will end.
