I found this book enjoyable rea...ding, however it was not as "deep" as Larsson's original books. I found it easy to guess some of the plot and the focus was more on Mickael rather than Lisbeth. This book was very fast paced and tried to overload on information rather than the slower, more intricate detailed books that made up the millenium trilogy. Overall, it was a very good effort given that Larsson is a tough act to follow.

Bought as a Christmas surp...rise for my wife who had enjoyed the original three. She was sceptical but kept an open mind . Occasionally she lost herself in the book , but came down to earth with a bump when stylistic discrepancies spoilt the illusion . Some people might not mind , but it'd not a done deal .

Stieg Larsson wrote the Millenium Series of 3 books star...ting with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and featuring Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander, all of which were excellent, and all of which were made into Swedish Films. Larsson died some time ago but David Lagercrantz has taken on the mantle of continuing the story of these two, and you could well believe that it was in fact written by Larsson. I really hope that they will make this into a film too. Although this is a self-contained story, there are several references to the earlier books in the series, so if you are contemplating reading them, I would suggest that you start with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and read them all in the correct order.

Not sure even now what the author... was trying to do with this. For me at least it meanders far too much and doesn't hold the reader's attention. Plots are clumsily worked through and character development is almost non-existent. Maybe I've read too many American novels
