I can't write books so I review them instead
This book has been making the rounds in the literary circles so I decided to pick it up and see what all the hype was about. Before I get going, I want to let you know that I read a translated version, and the translator was David Frye. Ted McKay has the perfect life: a…

This book is a translation from a Swedish novel written by a husband and wife duo. I’ve heard of this novel as being along the same line as Stieg Larsson’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which I ADORE (I will make sure to put my review for that novel up soon)! Of course, I was excited…
