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.

Poor

A disappointing read/listen. The book itself is average. There is no life or dimension to any of the characters. Blomkvist and Bublanski both come across as morons. Lisbeth has none of the depth or humour in the originals. The story is non-existent for the first half and then extremely obvious for the second. Performance is also average, hard to tell which character you were listening to, and the Americans were appalling.

Slow beginning

This book is at first a bit slow, which made it hard to keep listening. However, once the introductions were over, it was great. I couldn't stop listening

Top story

Liked the warmth associated with the autistic boy The no panic by the journalist to get to the bottom of the investigation and the fact that the twin sister was un successful No doubt we will hear about that later

Great addition to the Millennium series.

Really. enjoyed the book. Lagercrantz has done an admirable job continuing with Larsson's great legacy.

Struggling to get into it

Although this has the same narrator as the previous 3 books... he pronounces the names differently...Cannot deal.

A good fanfic.

It's obviously not at the level of Larsen.
But Lagercrantz is a great writer regardless.

The story seems short and thin compared to the first saga, and doesn't reach the level of detail one might expect from a Millenium book.

It is enjoyable non the less, but it really feels like a piece written by a fan.

Average and a Little Forgettable...

Would you consider the audio edition of The Girl in the Spider's Web to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version therefore unable to comment.

What did you like best about this story?

Dipping back into the lives of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist.

Did Saul Reichlin do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Not as good as other audiobook narrators. He was a touch irritating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I had to persevere to complete the story.

Slow to start but thankfully picked up. Still a worthy addition to this fabulous series leaving an opening for another ...I hope so anyway.
