A pity about the performance

I have enjoy the full series, but found this book lacking. I kept looking and hoping to find this book read by someone else just so I could enjoy the story some more. I would gladly send it back and listen to it again if read by someone else, more fluid and not so staccato.

Doesn't quite hit the mark

The plot had promise but it just is too convenient with just in time saves. The author should have spent more time developing the characters rather than just chasing sensational situations.
Pitty.

Excelent flow, excelent narrator

I was a huge fan of original Stieg Larsens trilogy and really reserved about listening to Lagercrantz version. But I'm glad I did.

Thank you for bringing Mikael and Lisbeth back to us David!

Really love how this book flows, the details, the depth of the story. Except ending seems somewhat forced. Like you wrote A++ esay, but run out of time to write closing and just scribble something down. Still, this book gets all 5 stars. I enjoyed the characters, their stories, how all comes together, all of it.

And the narrator brings this book to life. He is so good with changing his voice for characters and speed and tone of speech for more exciting parts of book I had a feeling I am right there in the middle of action. Brilliant !

Why?

This is the fifth book in the Millenium series. Lisbeth fights by any means necessary to find out the truth about her past, using the help of Mikael.

I struggled to follow the plot at first. When I figured it out, and although it was ultimately an interesting story about the twin project, it was, in my opinion, not written well and did not capture nor maintain my attention. I had periods of listening that I just wandered off as I was lost, bored, and did not feel any sort of connection to the story or characters. I want to finish the series, just to know what happens, but I am struggling to find the will…

Why do I do this to myself?

I know it's not going to be anything like Millennium trilogy... Oh, did anybody wonder why he called it a trilogy?

David Lagercrantz does an excellent job of continu

David Lagercrantz does an excellent job of continuing the Steig Larsen trilogy and securing a place in my top tier of writers. Narrated by one of the all time best narrators Saul Reichlin what could be better? How much more punishment can Lisbeth Salander take? Look forward to the next one.

Tedious

I have enjoyed the dragon tattoo series but couldn’t finish this one. There was too much mundane detail and not enough interaction of the characters we’ve come to love

lacks a bit of the darkness of its predecessors

lacks a bit of the darkness of its predecessors but worth a listen. i will be getting the next one.

I almost abandoned the book because of the poop performance

I love the millennium series and I was so eager to finally get to listen to the book. I got so disappointed with the horrible performance of the reader. He pronounces all the names differently, his diction and timing is really off. I struggled to listen to the book and almost dropped it altogether.

Very enjoyable from a good author

At first I was hesitant to listen to this book. I didn't enjoy the previous book as much as I'd hoped. I'm glad that I did, because in contrast to the previous book, where, at times, the characters was so exaggerated they almost seemed like parodies of Larssons characters, in this they are great. The dialogue between them is good, and the book has a nice flow. The story is intricate and very well written and thought out. We finally get to know the reason for Salanders dragon tattoo, and learn more about her past. The book springs into action at once, unlike the previous book where it took some time before something really happened.

One has to remember that this is a different author than the first three books, so of course the writing style and flow will be different. Lagercrantz does a great job and makes the characters his own, which in itself is no easy feat considering the mastery of Stieg Larsson. I really enjoyed this book.

As with the previous books in the series: Saul Reichlin does an amazing job as the narrator.
