Susan, you just gave me another author to try; Ms. Reichs. I've not read anything by her but considering that we share the same enthusiasm for the Millennium Trilogy and that I really like Deaver I have to try Reichs now.
I'm unsure about whether I want to try the new Lisbeth Salander book, The Girl In The Spider Web. I imagine it's going to be like reading a James Bond book by someone other than Ian Fleming. But knowing me my curiosity will probably get the better of me.

Michael, I am resisting that temptation! I have yet to read anything written by a 'pretender' which in any way matches the original so I have decided not to bother any more! But let me know if no 4 is any good! I am always willing to be convinced! Good reading with Kathy Reichs - I really like her stuff!


I'll keep you posted if you like.


looking forward to that Michael!

My review.



The fourth novel, The Girl In The Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz, isn't bad at all; not as good as Larsson but still not a bad read. I gave it 4 stars.

Agreed, was somewhat difficult to get through and payoff isn't that great, thought book was ok, interesting, well written but not that engaging

I can tell you that the last book was a bit slow. I wish there was more to it idk how to explain but yea.

It was awful. Too graphic at parts...
The anal rape scene... is just nasty, vulgar. He could have put it differently. (I've read this type of scenes in books where authors managed to be thought-provoking. Larsson couldn't reach that point, IMO.)
I think it reads easily and quickly... It's just light literature (not the good "light" like London or Verne) with too little to offer.
