About this listen

The girl with the dragon tattoo is not given to forgiveness.

Lisbeth Salander has been forged by a brutal childhood and horrific abuse. And repeated attempts on her life.

The ink embedded in her skin is a constant reminder of her pledge to fight against the injustice she finds on every side.

Confinement to the secure unit of a women's prison is intended as a punishment. Instead, Lisbeth finds herself in relative safety. Flodberga is a failing prison, effectively controlled by the inmates, and for a computer hacker of her exceptional gifts there are no boundaries.

Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains, one that could provide an important exposé for Millennium: Salander tells him to check out Leo Mannheimer, a seemingly reputable stockbroker from Stockholm, somehow connected to the long-ago death of a child psychologist - and to the psychiatric unit where Lisbeth was an involuntary patient as a child.

Lisbeth knows she is coming closer to solving the mysteries of her early life, and even within the confines of the prison, she feels the deadly influence exerted by her twin sister. She cannot stand by as racial and religious conflicts run unchecked amongst the community around her, manipulated by criminal forces far beyond the prison walls.

Salander will stand up for what she believes in. She will find out the truth. Whatever the cost...

The tension, power and unstoppable force of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye are inspired by Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, as Salander and Blomkvist continue the fight for justice that has thrilled millions of readers across the world.

Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding.

More than a story about an unlikely Hero.

The research into topics is overlayed with an astute social narrative. I was informed, involved, entertained, and moved.

Sad to say goodbye

I feel I've got to know Stockholm and the characters who live there so well. I'll have to delve back into their world again soon! The end of a fantastic series!

Another Great Listen

This story theme started with action and maintained an upbeat pace throughout.
I am a fan and the latest releases, albeit with different authors, maintains the high standard of action, bad guys and humanity.

I truly hope there are more books in this series to come.

Characterisations read with wrong tone. I think.

This narrator puts a nasty voice on for Salander. I love this character for her adherence to the truth about here and now. To me she speaks in a matter of FACT way. Not nasty nor pleasant. Just fact. He tries to dress the story too much with his over dramatised way of reading which I am sure is good for other stories but not this one.

david has improved

the author has stepped it up from first addition to Larson's series. less dialogue and more descriptions allow the reader to get a better visual of the story. i would like to see more investigations through other means. still a little too many interviews
