Crime thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has Aucklanders hooked, with 1300 people in the region waiting to borrow a copy from their local library.
Auckland city libraries have 404 people waiting for the book in its area alone - an impressive number, but a pale shadow compared with the 1000 who waited in the queue during the peak popularity of vampire romance Twilight last year.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - the first in a trilogy featuring investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his computer-hacking sidekick, Lisbeth Salander - is pitched at an older readership than Stephenie Meyer's chaste vampire series, two of which have been made into hit movies.
