Did you like this second book in the "Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" series? I read the first one for my bookclub. We all loved it and I was interested if the second book is as good as the first.

Sorry, meant to ask about this book....since this is the second one in the series in question.

Sorry, I'm just reading your post, the book is really good, the story continues and the plot thickens for Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, I loved it and i'm currently waiting for the third book to be published this year

Victoria,

Was this as good as everyone says?

Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind is one of my favorite books.

Vanessa

Yes, I liked it a lot, and it's actually a prequel of The Shadow of the Winf, so you would know some of the characters.

The Shadow of the Wind is also one of my favorite books, so with The Angel's game you will learn more about the Sempere family

# 17 Pandora - Anne Rice

#28. The Time Traveler's Wife - Audery Niffenegger

#29. The Witching Hour - Anne Rice

I LOVED The Witching Hour when I read that years ago.

I first read it about six years ago and I loved it so much that I went for the trilogy, but now rereading it I didn't find it as interesting as I did before...

The time traveler's wife is a must now with the movie coming up, and it's a great novel.

# 30. Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

#31. Atonement - Ian McEwan

Enjoyable book, as a hopeless romantic I didn´t love the ending, real life is cruel enough as to deny us the pleasure of having books with a happy ending or at least justice being properly delivered

I agree with your comment about Atonement. The ending was rough for me too. :-)

# 32. The Memory Keeper's Daughter - Kim Edwards

It can be sweet at times, most of the time I was just eagerly waiting for the secret to be revealed. Also, It made me consider the possibility (and difficulties) of having a kid with Down Syndrome.

Thank you Melissa!

# 33.The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown

# 34. Reread: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey

# 35. Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki

36. Brida - Paulo Coelho

37. Temple - Matthew Reilly

Beyond the fact of it being based on a highly unlikely story, the book I got was a Spanish translation, and not a very good one, so that did not help my reading experience.

I took it with me on a trip to have something to read on the plane, all I can say on it is that it fulfilled its purpose to keep me entertained during those travel hours.

38. Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen
