Star Wars on Trial: Charge #9

Lisbeth Salander, heroine of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels, is one of the most compelling, complex characters of our time. Is she an avenging angel? A dangerous outlaw? What makes Salander tick, and why is our response to her–and to Larsson’s Millennium trilogy–so strong?
In The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 19 psychologists and psychiatrists attempt to do what even expert investigator Mikael Blomkvist could not: understand Lisbeth Salander.

One of the big reasons I enjoyed The Psychology of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is because the writing is engaging...I enjoyed the book and I felt it gave some additional insights into one of my favorite female characters in literature.
