About this listen

Mikael Blomkvist is contacted by renowned scientist Professor Balder. Fearing for his life, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants Millennium to publish his story.

More interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker.

It seems that Lisbeth Salander, like Balder, is a target of ruthless cyber gangsters that will soon bring terror to the streets of Stockholm, the Millennium team, and Blomkvist and Salander themselves.

Clearly different from the earlier stories in the series. Lacked the thrill / mystery!
But I am so in love with Lizbeth that can’t stop.
Loved the ending

Average and nothing compared to the earlier in the series

although it is the 4th book in the serie , still has its charm ,pace and intensity. begins a little slow but when you get into it (and remember all the funny swedish names ), the story catches you in its web and you finish it with the slight dissapointment and curiosity as you can't percede immediately to the next book

waiting for book number 5

I felt the story a bit predictable. The performance could be improved with women voices. When a description of beautiful woman character that speaks with a masculine Foreign accent voice; it made me to forget that beautiful description. :(

Okay story. But there is so much exposition. It felt clumsy I that regard. Hmm

So much exposition

Would you try another book from David Lagercrantz and George Goulding - translator and/or Saul Reichlin?

Hoorah for Saul!!

Any additional comments?

I think the author tried real hard, maybe that was the problem.It was quite entertaining in parts but mostly contrived and predictable.....still I listened to it all, I'm not going to return it, so I guess it took care of 16 hrs of my life.

While it lacks the extreme darkness of the Larsen books, this has quite good pace and I thought read more like a ripping yarn. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Overall I really liked the book! Well once I got over Reichlin pronouncing Sal-an-Dar as Sa-lan-dar.
There were shades of Larsson’s footprints scattered throughout the book and yes better had they not been of the fading ephemeral type, but at least they were there in the writing of Lagercrantz.
I much prefer Simon Vance’s reading of the first 3 books, doesn’t mean Reichlin was terrible, just not Vance!
One bit of criticism I have to add is that there was a significant lack of the energy and play offs generated from Lisbeth and Mikael....the underlying sense one got from having them together in the same book and their almost “real life” presence Larsson birthed them with in his former books. It was somewhat there but the chemistry from the written word rather than on screen I just didn’t feel!

Nonetheless the book is well worth it and I’m looking forward to seeing the movie. I wanted to listen to the book first before seeing movie so I had an idea what to expect.
I’m now ready for that.
In the Russian/Chinese/USA/Facebook/Twitter days of hackers not so anonymous it gives one pause to wonder just how much we the people don’t know!

Not Stieg Larsson but not bad!

Lagercrantz did a good job overall. The story was complex and for the most part engaging. The character of Blomkvist was just right in some places and not quite there in others, particularly well drawn in the early chapters and not so well in the middle. Lisbeth was her fiery self, but the superhero portrayal was a little over done for me.
The rating of three for story is perhaps a little harsh, but there were a few times when the seams showed, and it felt a little rushed. However overall I was happy to be with these characters again, and I would welcome another book in the series.

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook! I also liked the plot, although I'm not sure if Larssons original characters would have acted the same way in certain situations. The reader was great, even though I prefer Simon Vance.

Good! Very entertaining.
