Reviews

"Salander and Blomkvist have survived the authorship transition intact and are just as compelling as ever . . . Fans of Stieg Larsson''s captivating odd couple of modern detective fiction will not be disappointed." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times "Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans--our punk hacker heroine is in good hands . . . A twisty, bloody thrill ride . . . seamlessly woven together by Lagercrantz--in fact, if you hadn''t seen his name on the book jacket, you''d likely assume it was Larsson''s own handiwork . . . An instant page-turner." -- USA Today (4 out of 4 stars) "Without ever becoming pastiche, the book is a respectful and affectionate homage to the originals . . . Lagercrantz''s continuation, while never formulaic, is a cleaner and tighter read than the originals." -- Guardian "Lagercrantz has more than met the challenge. Larsson''s brainchildren are in good hands and may have even come up a bit in the world." -- Wall Street Journal "What of Lisbeth Salander? Given that Lagercrantz knows she''s what readers want, her long and suspenseful introduction is masterful." --Lee Child, New York Times Book Review (cover) "A worthy, crowd-pleasing fourth installment . . . Lagercrantz, his prose more assured than Larsson''s, keeps Salander''s fiery rage at the white-hot level her fans will want." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) "Lagercrantz does an excellent job . . . Anyone craving more Salander bad-assery should get their hands on a copy of Spider''s Web faster than Lisbeth can hack into the NSA." -- People "Lagercrantz''s real achievement here is the subtle development of Lisbeth''s character; he allows us access to her complex, alienated world but is careful not to remove her mystery and unknowability. Lisbeth Salander remains, in Lagercrantz''s hands, the most enigmatic and fascinating anti-heroine in fiction." -- Financial Times "Action-packed and thoroughly enjoyable . . . [A] finely-wrought thriller . . . I will eagerly devour the next adventure for Salander and Blomkvist, especially now that we know their fate lies in the hands of a writer worthy of their story." -- The Daily Beast "Lagercrantz pulls it off . . . One devours Larsson''s books for the plots, the action, the anger, and most of all for Lisbeth Salander, a character who resembles Sherlock Holmes or James Bond . . . Lagercrantz has caught her superbly." -- Daily Telegraph (UK) "David Lagercrantz was set an almost impossible task by Stieg Larsson''s estate when they asked him to write a ''continuation'' novel featuring Lisbeth Salander. He has carried it out with intelligence and vigour. The Girl in the Spider''s Web conveys the essence and atmosphere of Larsson''s Millennium novels. He has captured the spirit of their characters and devised inventive plots." -- The Times (UK) "Fans of the original trilogy need not fear . . . The novel is well-researched and more intelligent than the average thriller." -- The Independent (UK) "Sometimes you almost forget that the spine of the book says David Lagercrantz and not Stieg Larsson . . . There is definitely the same narrative zest and love of intrigue, and also the impressive research . . . Lagercrantz has written a thriller that is captivating in its own right." -- Svenska Dagbladet (Sweden) "A real page turner." --Borås Tidning (Sweden) "Lagercrantz has studied the first three parts of the series well, and the reader will recognize not only their Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander and the social criticism, but also other essential parts of the story''s DNA . . . David Lagercrantz has proven that he deserves both attention and respect. " -- Dagens Nyheter (Sweden) "An excellent thriller . . . elegantly constructed." -- Stern (Germany), "Salander and Blomkvist have survived the authorship transition intact and are just as compelling as ever . . . Fans of Stieg Larsson's captivating odd couple of modern detective fiction will not be disappointed." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times "Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans--our punk hacker heroine is in good hands . . .

Synopsis

Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist return She is the girl with the dragon tattoo--a genius hacker and uncompromising misfit. He is a crusading journalist whose championing of the truth often brings him to the brink of prosecution. Late one night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a source claiming to have information vital to the United States. The source has been in contact with a young female superhacker--a hacker resembling someone Blomkvist knows all too well. The implications are staggering. Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Salander for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda. The secret they are both chasing is at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminals, and governments around the world, and someone is prepared to kill to protect it . . . The duo who captivated millions of readers in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest join forces again in this adrenaline-charged, uniquely of-the-moment thriller.

Great Read
This book could so easily gone wrong. It was written by a different author than the other books in the Millennium series. I don't know exactly how much material Stieg Larsson left upon his death but whatever David Lagercrantz had to work with was enough to make this continuance of the series an absolute hit. If you didn't know any better you would swear that all the books were by the same author. I am not going into detail about what happens in the book because I hate when people do that. If you want to know what the book is about, buy it and read it. All I will say is that if David Lagercantz gets permission to continue to write this series, the rest of them should be as outstanding as the first. Absolutely loved it.This book could so easily gone wrong. It was written by a different author than the other books in the Millennium series.

Doesn't measure up
This follow-up to the Stieg Larrson trilogy continues with the same characters. Although the style is similar, somehow it doesn't flow like the originals. The story line becomes muddled and some of the peripheral players' characters suddenly change completely. For light entertainment this book is just OK, but fans of the original series will be disappointed.

Disappointed
Beginning 80% of the story was superfluous. Only during the last 20% was Lisabeth's character enjoyable. David Lagercrantz didn't capture Stieg Larsson's method of keeping the reader engrossed. Wasn't surprised that this was not on the top reader's list for very long. Also, this was rated PG versus Larsson's story telling. Perhaps the censors had something to say!

Thank you Mr. Lagercrantz!
if i have any criticism at all, it would be that this books is a couple hundred pages less fleshy than the typical larsson. beyond that, thank you david langercrantz for keeping lisbeth salander and michael blomkvist alive. reading some of these other reviews gave me pause to wonder if i had just read the same book some of them had. i thought the pacing was excellent throughout, the build was properly compelling toward suspense and all returning characters were true to form. excellent story, same old friends in blomkvist and salander. shows nothing but promise for the continuance of a terrific series. please do not stop mr. langercrantz.if i have any criticism at all, it would be that this books is a couple hundred pages less fleshy than the typical larsson. beyond that, thank you david langercrantz for keeping lisbeth salander and michael blomkvist alive. reading some of these other reviews gave me pause to wonder if i had just read the same book some of them had. i thought the pacing was excellent throughout, the build was properly compelling toward suspense and all returning characters were true to form. excellent story, same old friends in blomkvist and salander. shows nothing but promise for the continuance of a terrific series. please do not stop mr. langercrantz.
