3 stars to David Lagercrantz's The Girl in the Spider's Web, the fourth book in the "Millenium" thriller series, written by a new author given the original, Steig Larsson, passed away several years ago. While the book carries on with great characters and a similar style, it wasn't as satisfying as the originals. But who can resist Blomkvist and Lisbeth -- you can't NOT read it! Story As readers come to know of this series of books, the plots are incredibly complex, intense and twisty. From a b...
Lagercrantz, couldn't quite get it right. It always felt like a watered down version Of Stieg Larsson. Never felt like "A Lisbeth Salander" novel. Maybe her distant cousin.2 stars for effort.
Not bad, but kind of confusing. It was like a whole bunch of complicated cyber-hacking sounding plot lines were thrown in a blender and the mush that came out was put into print. The author tried too hard to carry on after Larsen.I think the reason I still liked it a bit was that I know the characters from the previous books. If this was my first time with Blomkvist and Salander, I think I would have been very puzzled.
3.5 starsI went into this with low expectations given it wasn't written by the author of the previous three books. I think it is such a huge undertaking to jump into a beloved series and attempt to duplicate the author's voice. While there are definitely some flaws it is a decent thriller and not some horrible attempt at fan fiction.I enjoyed revisiting Blomkvist and Salander's world although the first half of the book really suffers by bouncing around between way too many characters. However, i...
I’m not going to beat around the bush. This book is terrible. I suggest that if you really, really liked the first three, do not read this one. It’s poorly written. Nothing works. Not the plot, not the characters, not any of the words the author uses to describe what happens with the characters in the plot. I got to page 125 and decided I would just skim the rest because life is too short to read crappy books, but then I found myself reading more than skimming so I will count this book as “read....
Despite concerns over whether Stieg Larsson's wishes were being honored by the publication of this book (based on reading "There Are Things I Want You to Know" about Stieg Larsson and Me), I decided to go ahead and try it. I loved the character of Lisbeth Salander and thought if it was done well, it might be worth it. You don't encounter many characters like her.Unfortunately, I was supremely disappointed, so much so that I can't face going back to the book after making it halfway through the au...
I initially was going to give this 4 stars, but decided 3 more accurately represented my feelings. I found the first third of the book tedious and I almost gave up. Like all newspapers, Millenium is in trouble and purchased by a larger company. Mikael Blomkvist is unhappy and unmotivated. There were a lot of new characters introduced, and a refresher list of previous characters was provided in the beginning. The agencies and groups involved tended to get tangled, and it was difficult to remember...
Re/Read on Audio! MY BLOG: Melissa Martin's Reading ListI thought this book was wonderful! I have missed Lisbeth and Blomkvist for so long. I think the new author did a great job carrying on Stieg Larsson's series. Lisbeth is one of the coolest women out there. I love her character, I love how smart she is, oh if I could be as smart as her. I do hate her past, but I am glad that she is a character that was written to rise above all of the horrible things that happened to her. In this new book th...
I'm sorry but no... I was super excited to read this to the point that I may have built it up in my head, and when it failed to deliver it made it that much more dissapointing. Lisbeths character in the first three books was so fluid that she became such a believable person with all her quirks, silence, and way of behaving that were always so consistent. but in this book I caught myself at least fifteen plus times thinking 'Salander would never have said that'. It at times made for a frustrating...
I went into reading this book with the thought that it has a snowballs chance in hell to be as good as Stieg Larsson's books. I mean they are something of the best I have ever read when it comes to Swedish books (Actually when I think about it that doesn't say that much since every damn person in Sweden seems to think that they are the new Stieg Larsson or Liza Marklund or whatever). What I want to say is that even though I have been looking forward to reading the book have I also had back in my...
I like this kind of book I should read more like it 💜
Considering that David Lagercrantz was hired by Larsson's estate, and that Eva Gabrielsson (Larsson's partner both in life and in writing) is against this continuation of the series, I'm going to stay away from it. Definitely a money-grab and nothing else.Link to Eva's opinion in English.Link to Eva's opinion in Danish.
