About the book
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO IS BACK. Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist have not been in touch for some time. Then Blomkvist is contacted by renowned Swedish scientist Professor Balder. Warned that his life is in danger, but more concerned for his son’s well being, Balder wants Millennium to publish his story, and it is a terrifying one. More interesting to Blomkvist than Balder’s world leading advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker. It seems that Salander, like Balder, is a target of ruthless cyber gangsters, and a violent criminal conspiracy that will very soon bring terror to the snowbound streets of Stockholm, to the Millennium team, and to Blomkvist and Salander themselves.

4.0Reading the first of Lagercrantz's books in the Millennium series, I noticed the difference in writing style to Larsson's but I couldn't put my finger on it until I read other reviews. Larsson's writing felt distinct with its detailed and lengthy prose and fleshing out of characters. I also felt the way he weaved the stories was very clever and had a lot of layers, leaving me guessing and in suspense. The Girl in the Spider's Web was a comparitively short read, but introduced some interesting characters and plot points. However, I felt the plot could have been more intricate and it seemed fairly straightforward for the protagonists to overcome certain challenges. Due to the length of the book, or perhaps the timescale in which it takes place, I also felt we missed out a bit on the interactions and relationships between the some of the characters. After I got two thirds of the way through the book, I imagined more of a cliffhanger with the amount of pages left. Lagercrantz had a tough act to follow but I think he did well all things considered. I enjoyed the book because I'm a fan of the genre and the protagonists Blomkvist and Salander, so I will happily continue to follow their escapades.
